The course is structured in blended mode at about 50%.
- Face-to-face lessons will take place regularly in the classroom in which moments of comparison will be included for individual work aimed at passing the final exam (option valid for attending students).
- The distance lessons will be realized through theoretical teaching modules uploaded on Classroom dedicated to teaching.
We will try to concentrate the lessons in presence in a single week alternating with distance lessons always asynchronous (no streaming)
