Teaching methods

Each topic will be presented in experimental form, with an attempt to answer the following questions: what was the reason for the experiment, how was it carried out, what result did it lead to and what is the significance of the results?Assessment is by written exam,on the basis of replies to a series of questions set to assess knowledge and logic skills
