Teaching methods

Ex cathedra, exercises, and group-project with the help of Teaching Assistants

Expected student activities

Following the ex-cathedra lectures, active participation to the Q/A sessions organize during the ex-cathedra lectures, home work on lectures' slides as well as on the proposed excercies, work in class as well as at home on the group project.

Assessment methods

Written exam and group-project report
