The verification of the acquired knowledge takes place through a common written test with 1-2 exercises to be solved analytically and 1-2 open questions on basic concepts. In this way we should be able to test the knowledge, the scientific vocabulary, the ability to synthesis and critical discussion acquired during the course.The second part of the exam will be oral and will be based on a discussion on the various topics discussed in class.
