|---|---|
| LECTURES; CLASSES AIMED TO CORRECT THE SETS OF QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES DISTRIBUTED DURING THE COURSE, AND TO DISCUSS SOME REAL CASES. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM: THE EVALUATION IS BASED ON A SCALE FROM 18 TO 30. THE FINAL EXAM IS A WRITTEN TEST THAT IS PROPEDEUTIC TO THE ORAL EXAM. THE WRITTEN TEST (DURATION TWO HOURS) IS PASSED WITH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 18/30. IT IS ARTICULATED INTO THREE PARTS: TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS; MULTIPLE ANSWER QUESTIONS TO BE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL AND NUMERIC EXERCISES. THE QUESTIONS ASKED ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF A DISCUSSION ON THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT OF THE COURSE. IT IS AIMED AT VERIFYING THE KNOWLEDGE OF SPECIFIC TOPICS AND TO LINK INDIVIDUAL ARGUMENTS AND MODELS OF ANALYSIS, AND THE ABILITIES TO ARGUE. THE EVALUATION OF THE ORAL TEST RANGES FROM A MINIMUM OF -3 POINTS (NEGATIVE SCORE) UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 3 POINTS. THE FINAL EVALUATION IS CALCULATED AS THE SUM OF THE SCORES FROM THE WRITTEN TEST AND THE ORAL TEST. |
