Teaching methods
Course teaching consists of lectures in Italian and some laboratory activities. During the course both analytical techniques and specific software such as analog and digital circuit simulators will be used for didactic purposes to better understand the concepts introduced. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is recommended.
Assessment methods
The learning assessment is through a written test followed by an oral discussion. The written test can be replaced by a midterm and a final tests.
