	Verifica dell'apprendimento
	The exam is made of the following parts: An assignment in the form of a questionnaire addressing the key features of common metrics and their impact on the evaluation of research. This component is designed to verify whether students have achieved the learning outcome of being " able to conduct a bibliographic research”. -A project work consisting in writing a short paper with strict page limits (typically, 4 pages) on a “classical” topic, where the focus is not on the technical aspects, but on how to convey a message and organize it into a scientific article. This part is aimed at verifying whether the students attain the learning outcome “to be able to write a scientific article”. -An assignment consisting in writing a review report for a given paper according to the discussed guidelines. This part is aimed at verifying whether the students attain the learning outcome “to be able to write a review”.
