Teaching Methods
DURING THE COURSE A REAL CONTROL PROBLEM WILL BE ASSIGNED TO EACH STUDENT TO BE SOLVED BY DEVELOPING A PROJECT IN PARTIAL AUTONOMY. THE PROGRESS MADE BY STUDENTS WILL BE DISCUSSED, JOINTLY AND INDIVIDUALLY.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE AS A WHOLE: THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT THE PROJECT IN PARTIAL AUTONOMY, THE ABILITY TO DRAW UP A DETAILED TECHNICAL REPORT, THE ABILITY TO PRESENT THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT.
IN THE FINAL EVALUATION, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS, THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT THE PROJECT IN AUTONOMY WILL ACCOUNT FOR 80% WHILE COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR 20%. THE CUM LAUDE MAY BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE BIG AUTONOMY AND DEEP UNDERSTANDING.
Texts
SUPPLEMENTARY TEACHING MATERIAL WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE UNIVERSITY E-LEARNING PLATFORM (HTTP://ELEARNING.UNISA.IT) ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS USING THEIR OWN UNIVERSITY CREDENTIALS.

THE MATERIAL NEEDED TO RUN THE VARIOUS PROJECTS WILL BE INDICATED BY THE TEACHER.
More Information
THE COURSE IS HELD IN ITALIAN.
