Teaching methods
Language of the course: the course will be held in italian. Lessons and exercises: The course includes theoretical lessons in the classroom and exercises with the electronic calculator in the computer lab. The exercises include the design and implementation of the controller and its computer simulation. Attending at the lectures is not mandatory but it is strongly recommended. Methods for working students: working students who cannot attend classes must communicate this to the teacher to receive specific indications on the topics to be studied on the recommended textbooks and teaching materials. Office hours: By appointment requested by e-mail addressed to the teacher.
Assessment methods
The student is offered an exercise to perform before going to the exam by two weeks from the end of the course. The student will present himself with the solution that will be discussed during the exam, also through the preparation of a descriptive document. The discussion will be followed by an interview on the program carried out in class to verify the student's level of knowledge.
