TEACHING MODE
Classes will take place remotely (both asynchronous and synchronous modes) using MTeams. Synchronous lectures will be performed according to the formal class schedule and will be recorded and uploaded in Ariel.
If the health situation will permit, some lessons will be in presence and will be dedicated to revise and deepen what proposed asynchronously. Questions by the audience will be encouraged and a preliminary evaluation will be given to students that will raise pertinent questions. Students not attending the class will be offered a similar opportunity to actively participate to the lessons remotely and to get a preliminary evaluation.
Rules for participating to lectures in presence, requiring reservation through a suitable app, will be published in due time on the Ariel pages of the course as well as any notice related to Covid-19 regulation changes.
PROGRAM AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS
No changes will be made during the emergency period.
LEARNING VERIFICATION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA
The exam will consist of an online oral examination using the MTeams platform.

The exam consists of 4 short questions and 1 open question. Short questions are intended to ascertain the use of appropriate terms and the ability to represent both concepts and procedures using graphical models. The open question is intended to ascertain the clarity of presentation and the ability to integrate the acquired knowledge for problem solving of a specific case study. Following the final single test, students can request an oral test.
To perform the exam, students have to register in SIFA within the deadline.
The grade will be communicated to each student immediately after the exam and by an automatic e-mail sent by the SIFA system.
