Frontal lectures with exercises.
Assessment methods
Final written exam divided in two parts:
- the first one consists of exercises, aimed at verifying that the student knows how to apply the principles and laws of Physics to solve concrete problems;
- the second one consists of questions, aimed at verifying that the student has fully understood the principles of Physics and its applications.
The final grade is expressed in thirtieths.
