The gradual learning of the topics covered in the course
will be assessed by the teacher following the corrections of the project work and following the student's participation in class discussions.
The final assessment will be carried out on the basis of the project work and by means of an oral exam on the topics of the course.
Note: the verification of learning can also be carried out in remote, should the conditions require it
