Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons in presence or via remote connection according to the provisions in force.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Multiple choice questions: each correct answer is worth one point. The sum of the points obtained is reported in thirtieths and contributes to the overall mark attributed to the entire integrated course which is given by the weighted average of the scores reported in each module with respect to the weight in credits.
If the verification should take place remotely, an oral test will be carried out.
