APPROVIGIONAMENTO IDRICO E DRENAGGIO URBANO SOSTENIBILI

The course will be delivered through lectures and practical exercises to assess the level of learning achieved by the students during its progression. Guidance for the activities will be provided in class, while additional support will be available during office hours.

Attendance of the course is strongly recommended, is regularly monitored, and is particularly important for carrying out the practical exercises, which must be started and completed during the course.

Specifically, during the practical exercises the student will be able to acquire important basic skills on software commonly used in professional practice (e.g. EPA SWMM)

The exam is conducted orally. Registration for an exam session is mandatory and must be carried out exclusively through the “student portal” within the established registration periods. On the exam day, the instructor, after consulting the students who have registered in advance for that session and expressed their preferences, schedules the exam sittings to be held until the opening of the next session.

The overall assessment will take into account: the oral examination, the quality of the practical exercises, and the consistency of active participation in the lectures.
