Lectures and in the computer lab.
The lectures are integrated with the laboratory ones.
The lectures are on the blackboard, but the slides and recordings of the lessons from previous years are available on the e-learning site.
The laboratory is held by the teacher himself, while additional exercises held by an exerciser may be proposed.
In the computer lab, each student has a fixed station available or can bring their Laptop, as the Matlab campus license is free for all Insubria students.
