Teaching Methods
THIS COURSE CONSISTS ON THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCITATIVE LESSONS. DURING THEORETICAL LESSONS STUDENTS LEARN BASIC NOTIONS. DURING EXERCITATIVE LESSONS STUDENT LEARN HOW THE GAINED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE MAY BE USED TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST, AFTER WHICH STUDENTS CAN GO TO AN ORAL EXAMINATION. WILL BE EVALUATED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS OF THE THEORY CLASSES, BUT ALSO THE ABILITY TO APPLY THEM TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF ELEMENTARY TYPE.
