Teaching Methods Canonical ex-cathedra, through participated lesson.
In addition, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) methodologies will be used, such as physlets, simulation and modeling programs, also for the purposes of guided verification.
Simple laboratory experiences will also complete the educational offer.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The exam, aimed at verifying the actual acquisition of the knowledge and expected skills, consists of a single interview on the themes of the program, and involves the development, analysis and discussion of simple conceptual or numerical exercises.
The vote is expressed in thirtieths.
