Type of Assessment
The standard exam is oral. It may be substituted by a written proof at the end of the Course. In both cases, the aim is verifying:
- by means of theoretical questions, the knowledge of main characteristics of circuits employed in digital systems;
- by means of exercises, the capability of designing simple digital systems and/or of evaluating the related properties.
- by means of theoretical questions, the knowledge of main characteristics of circuits employed in digital systems;
- by means of exercises, the capability of designing simple digital systems and/or of evaluating the related properties.
