Teaching Methods The course includes 64 hours of teaching, divided into lessons of 2 to 3 hours depending on the academic calendar. Frontal lectures consist of theoretical lessons and, possibly, of seminars held by experts in research and / or applications on intelligence. During the lessons the main subjects of the teaching are explained with examples on the blackboard or on the computer
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The verification of the student's preparation consists of a written test with a multiple-choice questionnaire relating to the entire program with a possible subsequent oral integration at the discretion of the teacher. The total points (30) will be divided on the basis of the questions in the test. The total score is given by the sum of the correct scores for the individual questions. The duration of the written test is approximately 35 minutes. At the discretion of the teacher the written test can be replaced by an oral examination.
