No mandatory attendance

The exam consists of a written test consisting of some exercises on the main topics covered in the course. Then, corresponding results are discussed with a short oral exam.

The course is based on traditional frontal lessons. The use of the blackboard, multimedia tools and all the teaching tools deemed suitable are foreseen.
