Teaching mode
The courses are based on theoretical lessons and exercises, given by the thacher, together with exercises classes given by a tutor.
Frequency
The attendance is optional, but strongly recommended
Exam mode
At the end of the course, starting from June, the written exam (lasting 2 hours and half) consists of 5 exercises concerning the topics of the programme, with the aim of testing the knowledge level of the several techniques useful to solve the problems of the final test.
If the written exam receives an evaluation greater or equal to 15/30, the theory exam (written - 1 hour and half - or oral - 1 hour -, depending on student's request), consists of 2 theory questions (definitions, theorem statements, proofs, examples, counterexamples), starting from the results and mistakes in the written exam, in order to test the knowledge level of the theoretical aspects of the course.
The final score is a weighted mean between the scores of the written exam and of the oral exam. In both the tests the student must obtain a score greater or equal to 15/30.
