Teaching Methods

PARTICIPATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY IS REQUIRED. PARTICIPATION IN THE LESSONS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO PRACTICE THE SOLUTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS OF CASE STUDY.
Verification of learning
THE VERIFICATION OF LEARNING WILL BE CARRIED OUT THROUGH A WRITTEN TEST (SCORED OUT OF THIRTY) INTENDED TO ASSESS THE CANDIDATE'S KNOWLEDGE AND ARGUMENTATION SKILLS. SPECIFICALLY THIS METHOD IS REPEATED FOR BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND MODULE. THE WRITTEN TEST, LASTING ONE HOUR FOR EACH MODULE, CONSISTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF AN OUTLINE (ONE FOR EACH MODULE) COMPOSED OF TWO SECTIONS: IN THE FIRST, THERE ARE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (WITH A MAXIMUM SCORE OF 10); IN THE SECOND THERE ARE OPEN-END QUESTIONS (WITH A MAXIMUM SCORE OF 10). THE SCORE OF THE WRITTEN TEST IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE POINTS ASSIGNED BY THE TEACHERS TO THE INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE STUDENT.
STUDENTS WILL BE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE THE WRITTEN TEST WITH AN ORAL EXAMINATION.
