Educational objectives | The course provides the basic concepts and tools of computer science, the acquisition of skills of individual software applications, to support the study and research in the sciences. The student should use the computer so knowledgeable and efficient. |
Prerequisites | none |
Teaching methods | Theoretical lessons in the classroom and practical lessons in the laboratory. |
Other information | Use of e-learning platform http://www.unistudium.unipg.it |
Learning verification modality | Written and oral examination regarding the subjects covered in all 4 modules of the class. The written test consists in 5 closed answer quizzes for each one of the 4 modules in the class program, for a total of 20 questions. The test duration is 30 minutes. Following the written test, an oral examination is requested that lasts about 15 minutes. The objective of both tests is that of verifying the level of understanding acquired by the students in the 4 class modules and in his/her capability to analyze simple practical oriented problems. The oral examination also test the capability of the student to synthetize 1 or 2 topics covered in the class program. |
