Course Prerequisites
In the event of provisions of the competent authority on the containment and management of the epidemiological emergency, the teaching may undergo changes compared to what is stated in the syllabus to make the course and exams in line with the provisions
Teaching Methods
The teaching work involves the articulation and integration of teaching moments, case analysis and reading of experiential situations. There will also be exercises and simulations, selected visions of filmographic cards relating to the topics covered, testimonies of external interlocutors.
Assessment Methods
The assessment includes a final oral exam, based on the following criteria:
- articulation and quality of formal knowledge and specialist vocabulary
- ability to create links between theory and practice
- Critical processing skills
In particular:
For attending students, the evaluation criteria will focus on the acquisition of basic content, on the ability of critical processing and connection between the contents proposed in the texts and the material acquired during the course.
For non-attending students, the criteria will concern the acquisition of basic contents and their critical analysis and processing, with associations and connections between the various contents, referring to the bibliographic material indicated.
The final grade, expressed out of thirty, will evaluate the above knowledge and skills according to the following ranges:
- incomplete or insufficient knowledge and skills: less than 18;
- adequate knowledge and skills but not very thorough and with limited applications to situations and contexts: 18-22;
good knowledge and skills, adequately articulated and sufficiently applied to situations and contexts: 23-26;
excellent knowledge and skills, well articulated and solidly applied to situations and contexts: 27-30/laude
