Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A SOLID AND RIGOROUS SETTING REGARDING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE DESIGN ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND BY A DYNAMIC APPROACH, WITH MANY CASE STUDIES, FOR WHAT CONCERNS THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS. REGARDING THE DESIGN OF ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, THERE WILL BE MOMENTS FOR THE DISCUSSION AND DEPTH STUDY OF ISSUES RELATED TO THE IMPACT OF THE ICT IN THE HEALTHCARE. IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE INCLUDES 48 HOURS OF LESSON OF WHICH 32 HOURS OF LECTURE, 16 CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE LECTURES WILL BE HELD WITH THE AID OF VIDEO PROJECTIONS (SLIDES). THE EXERCISES WILL BE AIMED AT THE EXPLANATION OF THE DESIGN METHODS OF SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS WITH THE USE OF DATA BASES. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE TO THE FINAL ASSESSMENT AND TO GAIN THE CREDITS CORRESPONDING TO THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS OF ASSISTED TEACHING ACTIVITIES.
Verification of learning
THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH ASSESSMENT IN THIRTIES. THE VERIFICATION INCLUDES THE REALIZATION OF A PRACTICAL TEST (PROJECT) TO BE DELIVERED AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE PROJECT, THE STUDENTS WILL BE ORGANIZED IN GROUPS OF AT THE MOST 4 PEOPLE. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF THE DRAFTING, PRESENTATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROCESS AND THE RELEVANT DATA BASE ON SPECIFIC METHODOLOGICAL AND / OR TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES, RELEVANT FOR THE WORLD OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS. THE TOPICS SUBJECT TO STUDY WILL BE INDICATED DURING THE COURSE AND VARY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS. THE PROJECT WILL BE ASSESSED IN THIRTIES ON THE BASIS OF THE CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS AND QUALITY OF THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS. THE FINAL VOTE IS OBTAINED TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OF THE ORAL INTERVIEW AND THE VOTE AWARDED TO THE PROJECT WHICH HAS A WEIGHT OF 70%. HONORS MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS WHO PROVE THAT THEY HAVE EXCELLENT MASTERY OF THE COURSE CONTENT TOGETHER WITH THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED FOR THE RESOLUTION OF PROBLEMS NOT ADDRESSED DURING THE PROJECT.
