Teaching methods
Teaching activities include lessons made with the support of computer/projector for showing multimedia presentations and images. These lessons are combined with practice lessons.
Supporting materiial is uploaded on the Elly platform. In order to download this material, student must enroll the course. We remind students not attending the course to check teaching material and teacher notes through the Elly platform. The modalities of the teaching activities are subjet to possible variations.
Assessment methods and criteria
The learning assessment is made with an oral exam. The aim of the exam is to verify the student knowledge and understanding of basic and and working principles of optical and photonic sensoprs. The oral exam is evaluated in the range 0/30. The mark of the oral exam is communicated to the student at the end of the oral test.
The online registration to the exam is mandatory and it is possible until three days before the exam date.
Further information about the examination procedure will be given to the students during the lessons and made available on the Elly web-site of the course.
