The course is mainly organised through theoretical lectures. Short conferences and seminars eventually given by external experts can be organised, During the course, students are requested to analyze a specific IoT wireless subject with a choice between two alternatives: 1. Experimental Project, through the realization of a hardware or network or software component of an IoT system chosen by the instructor 2. Design Project, through bibliographic searches and scientific reviews on an IoT subject chosen by the instructor The execution of an Experimental Project or Design Project is not compulsory.

Lecture Notes and Slides distributed by the lecturer.

Exam: Compulsory oral exam; Individual project;

The exam evaluates the knowledge acquired by the student in all fields described in the Course program. Grades are expressed as a part of 30. Exam is passed if the grade is at least 18/30. Every student is interviewed about the theoretical subjects taught during the course. If the student has chosen a project (Experimental or Design), she/he is requested to submit a report and to give a presentation, which are evaluated as part of the Exam. The oral exam is consequently formed by an interview on any theoretical subject taught during the course, eventually combined with a Project presentation. Student's preparation is evaluated by means of theoretical questions as well as the request to apply the theoretical issues to real applications. Independently on the kind of project chosen by the student, the student is requested to show her/his ability to address a technical problem and her/his capability to obtain a suitable result. During the Project presentation, the capability to present, synthesize, comment the obtained results will be evaluated. The oral exam and the project presentation are given in class. All students are invited to attend to others' project presentations. The report must be uploaded as pdf. The grade is assigned according to the following rules. If the student has chosen the experimental project option: Experimental project assigned within the first month of the course, to be completed by the end Weight: 60% Public presentation of the project Weight: 20% Oral exam on the theoretical subjects Weight: 20% If the student has chosen the design project option: Design project assigned within the first month of the course, to be completed by the end Weight: 50% Public presentation of the project Weight: 20% Oral exam on the theoretical subjects Weight: 30% If the student has not chosen neither the experimental, nor the design project: Oral exam on the theoretical subjects Weight: 100%

In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
