Teaching mode
There are classical lectures and practical ones.
The lessons will take place using the slides of the course.
The practical ones will be performed on the computer using the kathara platform (https://www.kathara.org/)..
Frequency
Attendance of the part dedicated to laboratory exercises is encouraged
Exam mode
The exam is divided two parts; PART 1) An exam done by collecting homeworks (done and evaluated during the semester) on Kathara (gives max 20/30 points); PARTE 2) Two written open questions on the whole program (gives max 10/30 points).
In both cases part 1) is done during the semester and part 2) in the sessions of January/February.
In all the other exam sessions the student should 1) do the Kathara as a written exam; 2) answer to two written open questions on the whole program.
As an alternative instead of PART 1) the students can present a document describing the results of a project (done during the semester in a group and individually presented to the class).
