	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE CONSISTS IN FRONT LESSONS (60 H) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (60 H) FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 120 HOURS WHICH ARE WORTH 12 CREDITS (CFU). LECTURES ARE PROVIDED IN CLASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS. ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

	Verification of learning
	THE LEARNING ASSESSMENT PROCESS REQUIRES A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST. THE WRITTEN TEST HAS A DURATION OF TWO HOURS, IT IS AN OPEN-BOOK TEST, THE CANDIDATE CAN MAKE USE OF WHATEVER HE/SHE WANTS (NO INTERNET), AND THE TEST IS MADE BY TWO EXERCISES, EACH ONE WITH THREE QUESTIONS. FOR EACH QUESTION THERE IS A GRADE (5 POINTS ON AVERAGE), AND THESE POINTS ARE GIVEN ENTIRELY IF THE ANSWER IS CORRECT EVEN FROM NUMERICAL POINT OF VIEW, AT 80% IF THERE IS A CALCULATION MISTAKE, FROM 10% TO 70% IF THE ANSWER IS GIVEN BUT CONCEPTUAL ERRORS ARE PRESENT (ZERO IF THE ANSWER IS ABSENT OR SERIOUSLY FLAWED). THE ORAL TEST IS MADE BY A SINGLE QUESTION ON A TOPIC ANALYZED DURING THE COURSE; THE AVERAGE DURATION STARTS FROM TWENTY MINUTES (IF THE ANSWERS ARE GIVEN RAPIDLY AND CORRECTLY), UP TO ONE HOUR IF THE CANDIDATE IS NOT SURE IN HIS/HER ANSWERS AND TAKES TIME TO GIVE THE ANSWERS. THE SUFFICIENCY IS OBTAINED IF THE CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES THE ABILITY TO SELECT THE METHODS TO BE USED, TO WRITE CORRECTLY THE MODEL EQUATIONS AND AT LEAST TO SELECT THE CORRECT PATH TO THEIR SOLUTION. THE EXCELLENCE IS OBTAINED WHEN THE CANDIDATE IS ABLE TO FACE OUT SUCCESSFULLY EVEN ASPECTS OF THE TOPIC NOT ANALYZED DURING THE COURSE. THE FINAL GRADE DEPENDS FROM THE LEVEL OF EXPOSITION AND FROM THE CONFIDENCE SHOWN WITH THE COURSE’S TOPICS, AND WITH THE METHODS, THE USES OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN DURING THE COURSE.
