	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE COVERS THEORETICAL LECTURES, DEVOTED TO THE FACE-TO-FACE DELIVERY OF ALL THE COURSE CONTENTS , AND CLASSROOM PRACTICE DEVOTED TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS WITH THE MAIN TOOLS NEEDED TO PROBLEM-SOLVING ACTIVITIES.

	Verification of learning
	THE FINAL EXAM CARRIED OUT AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND IT IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE AS A WHOLE: •THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE; •THE MASTERY OF THE MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE IN THE WRITTEN AND ORAL PROOFS; •THE SKILL OF PROVING THEOREMS; •THE SKILL OF SOLVING EXERCISES; •THE SKILL TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY THE BEST AND EFFICIENT METHOD IN EXERCISES SOLVING; •THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN PROOF AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. WRITTEN PROOF: THE WRITTEN PROOF LASTS 2,5 HOURS AND CONSISTS IN SOLVING TYPICAL PROBLEMS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. IN THE CASE OF A SUFFICIENT PROOF, IT WILL BE EVALUATED BY THREE SCALES. ORAL INTERVIEW: THE INTERVIEW LASTS ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IS DEVOTED TO EVALUATE THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE, AND COVERS DEFINITIONS, THEOREMS PROOFS, EXERCISES SOLVING. FINAL EVALUATION: THE FINAL MARK, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS (EVENTUALLY WITH LAUDE), DEPENDS ON THE MARK OF THE WRITTEN PROOF, WITH CORRECTIONS IN EXCESS OR DEFECT ON THE BASIS OF THE ORAL INTERVIEW. MASTERING ABILITY OF THE COURSE CONTENTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE WRITTEN AND ORAL ELABORATION AND THE SELF-EVALUATION CAPABILITY SHOWN. LAUDE FOLLOWS FROM BRILLIANT WRITTEN PROOF AND ORAL INTERVIEW.
