Teaching methods

Blended learning: lectures and group work activities (to be carried out both in presence and via online sessions).

Assessment methods

During the course, formative assessment activities will be carried out. They (mainly consisting of offline and online feedbacks) aim to self- and hetero-regulation of the learning process by peers and teacher.
The final assessment will be carried out by a written test (lasting two hours and half), structured with closed and open-ended questions.

To pass the written exam, students are required not only to understand the knowledge (declarative, procedural and situational) present in the materials on the platform and / or in the texts included in the bibliography, but also to apply them in simulated situations, to grasp their interconnections, to identify their assumptions and consequences.

Teaching tools
