Durante il corso utilizzeremo una pluralità di metodi didattici: lezioni frontali, dibattiti, case study, role play, simulazioni ed attività di gruppo

Assessment methods

Students can choose whether to follow the course in two ways:
– attending Students
– Non-attending students

For "non-attending" students, the exam will consist of a multiple-choice test with 15 questions (+1 question to obtain honors) with only one correct answer per question. In addition, students will have to take an oral exam confirming the written grade.

For "attending" students, the final grade will be given by:
– A group test (50%) which consists of developing a project that will be presented in the classroom on the first day of class.
– The final exam (50%) will be divided into two intermediate tests (end of October-beginning of November and January) and the final grade will be the average of the two tests.
– Students can take an optional oral exam to improve their grade,

The evaluation of the final test will be as follows: Each question will be evaluated with two points in case of a correct answer.
30 laude: 15 correct answers with also the correct answer to the question entered.-
