    The teaching material is the reference text book and the lesson slides that are available on the site: https://hpca.diism.unisi.it/lezioni.htm

    Suggestions for a better preparation: both in the written and oral exams (but also in the projects) the student is mainly required to show his/her detailed understanding of the topic, at least at the level shown by the teacher during the lesson. It's greatly appreciated the capacity of reasoning on the problem, rather then a mechanical (pedant) description of the topic.
    In case of written exercise, we mainly look at the correctness of the solution (in terms of numbers) and a very short justification of the chosen way to carry out the exercise (lengthy general wording is completely unnecessary).
    In case of oral question, the topic is typically one of the concepts illustrated during the lesson. Elements that are required are, for instance: the proof of the concept/theorem, precise schematic of the system, detailed behavior and functioning, reasons why this solution is used in the real-world.

    -Disclaimer (for ERASMUS students)

    Erasmus students are welcome. Nonetheless, there are a few, major things that the perspective Erasmus student has to bear in mind in case she/he decides to attend this course:

    1) There are NO DISCOUNTS for Erasmus students. All students are required to come through the exam FULLY positively in order to get their credits.
    2) The exam is Italian style, meaning that several students usually fail their first attempts (because the exam is difficult) but they are allowed to come back for whole new examinations in the next MONTHS or even years. Erasmus students may have difficulties, thus, since they usually return to their home countries at the end of the semester (which prevents them from re-trying the exam). This implies that they need to be real sure they are willing to take the exam in the first place, and be real sure they are ready to go at 1st attempt.
    3) Also, according to point (2), there will be NO EXTRA EXAMS scheduled in the days immediately next to the official exam date(s) just in order to allow Erasmus students to try again: preparing this exam takes time, no recovery from a complete failure can be seriously expected in less than a few (> 2) weeks time.
    4) In case the Erasmus students return to their home countries without coming through the exam positively, the only way to get their credits is to come back to Siena for re-taking the exam entirely (in fact, the exam involves a mandatory oral part) on the next available official date that suits the students' needs (in this case, the students are required to communicate officially their intentions to re-try the exam during the Fall session to the proper Erasmus/International Relations Office of the University of Siena before leaving for the summer break, in order not to get their records removed from the system at the end of the Summer session). Different arrangements were attempted in the past, all resulting in endless troubles on both sides, such that they will no longer be applied.
    5) FYI (it's better to know before you choose): historically, statistical outcomes from previous years show that MORE THAN 95% of the Erasmus students enrolled in this subject COULD NOT COME THROUGH the examination.
