	1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWLEDGE OF ELEMENTS OF PROBABILITY THEORY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INFORMATION THEORY. KNOWLEDGE OF INFORMATION MEASURES AND OF CODING THEORY. ABILITY TO ANALYZE SIMPLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS. 2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: TO USE PROBABILISTIC METHODS IN THE CONTEXT OF INFORMATION THEORY. REASONING ABILITY TO ANALYSE THE VARIOUS MEASURES OF INFORMATION. ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PERFORMANCES OF A SIMPLE THEORY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. 3. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY. ABILITY TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANALYZE AND INTERPRET PROBLEMS. 4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO EXPOSE AND TO CONNECT IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY THE STUDIED TOPICS 5. LEARNING SKILLS: THE TEACHING METHOD INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS SUPPLEMENTED BY EXERCISES, EXAMPLES, AND PROBLEMS ON ALL TOPICS. CLASS ATTENDANCE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, BECOUSE DURING THE LESSONS THE STUDENTS ARE STIMULATED TO LEARN AND TO CONNECT IN A SYSTEMATIC AND CRITICIZES THE VARIOUS TOPICS.
