| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE ACTIVITIES CONSIST IN 56 HOURS TAUGHT CLASS LECTURES (7 CFUS) AND 16 HOURS (2 CFUS) OF LABORATORY ACTIVITIES, WHICH ARE AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR APPLYING ON A REAL WORLD SCENARIO THE METHODS AND KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE. STUDENTS ARE GUIDED TO LEARN CRITICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED TO THEM IN THE CLASSROOM AND ENRICH THEIR JUDGMENT THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE COURSE MATERIAL INDICATED BY THE TEACHER. ATTENDANCE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. STUDENTS MUST BE PREPARED TO SPEND A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME TO STUDY OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. A SATISFACTORY PREPARATION TAKES AN AVERAGE OF TWO HOURS OF STUDY FOR EACH HOUR SPENT IN THE CLASSROOM. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| ORAL EXAMINATION, WHERE THE STUDENT HAS TO SHOW KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS STUDIED IN THE COURSE. IT MAY BE COMPLEMENTED BY A SPECIFIC PROJECT TASK HAVING THE GOAL OF EVALUATING THE SKILLS OF THE STUDENT IN APPLYING THE TECHNIQUES STUDIED IN THIS COURSE TO SPECIFIC SECURITY DESIGN PROBLEMS. SIX EXAMS ARE SCHEDULED FOR EVERY YEAR. |
