Teaching methods
The main part of the course is delivered as traditional lessons in Italian. If required, lectures can be delivered in English. The course also features hands-on sessions at department labs and seminars held by industry experts and managers (subject to availability). However, lab activities cannot be done if this course will be delivered online (due to the COVID19 pandemic). Students' questions and interaction are welcome and encouraged. Attendance at lectures is strongly encouraged, but is not considered compulsory.
