Teaching methods
Instruction methods
The course is organized in laboratory sessions and personal work for homework solving. Laboratory sessions are based on the use of tools for signal processing and analysis, as well as system simulation.
Assessment methods and criteria
Evaluation methods
Evaluation comprehensively based on:
- level of (active and regular) attendance of laboratory sessions
- laboratory reports
- final oral interview, unless exempted for good level of (active and regular) course attendance.
Remedial evaluation based on a complex individual project (strongly discouraged).
Other information
Other issues
The course relies upon a specific web site.
