| AIMS THE COURSE INTENDS TO PROVIDE SKILLS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL AND ENVIROMENTAL INDICATORS WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE DEFINITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF COMPOSITE INDICATORS. THE EXTRACTION AND THE INTEGRATION OF DATABASES ARE PRESENTED BY ADOPTING OPEN DATA AND INDICATORS AVAILABLE ONLINE. STATISTICAL METHODS ARE ADOPTED FOR THE DEFINITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF COMPOSITE INDICATORS RELATING TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL-ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE USE OF SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO THE ABILITY TO EXTRACT OPEN DATA AND TO APPLY THE STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF COMPOSITE INDICATORS ON SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DRAW UP RESEARCH REPORTS AND TO INTERPRET DATA ON SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PHENOMENA UNDER STUDY. |

| THE EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE WRITTEN TEST AIMS AT ASSESSING THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND THE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS. THE WRITTEN TEST TAKES 60 MINUTES AND IT IS STRUCTURED IN EXERCISES ABOUT THE TOPICS DEVELOPED DURING THE LECTURES. THE ORAL INTERVIEW TAKES AROUND 20 MINUTES WITH A DISCUSSION ON THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE LECTURES TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY AND THE QUALITY OF ORAL EXPOSITION. THE ORAL INTERVIEW TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES WITH A DISCUSSION ON THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY AND THE QUALITY OF ORAL EXPOSITION. |
