Methods of Provision
Teaching Methods Theoretical lessons and practical exercises
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The exam grade is expressed in 30/30. The course offers the optional possibility to do four intermediate partial test, that allow to have a partial or total exemption of the final oral exam. The final oral exam consists of applied exercises from which theoretical questions are formulated on the course arguments.
