Teaching Methods
THE COURSE OFFERS THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSONS (COMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION OF ENCODERS/DECODERS) ON CODING FOR MULTIMEDIA SOURCES AND STREAMING TECHNIQUES.
Verification of learning
THE STUDENT WILL PRESENT A COMPUTER PROJECT (IMPLEMENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF ENCODERS/DECODERS FOR MULTIMEDIA SIGNALS) ALONG WITH A BRIEF ORAL OR WRITTEN REPORT.

THE EVALUATION WILL BE BASED ON PROJECT RESULTS, CORRECTNESS AND EFFICACY OF THE FORMULATION, CLARITY OF EXPOSITION, DEPTH OF UNDERSTANDING, DEVELOPED SKILLS, CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND GENERAL VISION OF THE TOPIC.
