Papers discussion
Didactic methods
Lessons will be in presence. Lessons will not be provided in other ways except limited to students who, due to Covid, cannot access the University upon presentation of the relative request on the appropriate form. In these cases, the teacher will provide additional teaching material in the form of recorded lessons
Learning assessment procedures
The exam will be oral aiming to ascertain the students’ knowledge on the topics of lectures and lab practices. Two third of the colloquium will be dedicated to test knowledge on topics treated in the theory part of the course. The exam will be same for both attending and non-attending students.
Evaluation criteria
Learning of the theory topics
Capacity to apply the knowledge including technical aspects faced in the laboratory part
