Teaching methods

The teaching uses innovative teaching methods: Blended Learning and Flipped Classroom.
The lessons provide a preliminary preparation for the activities that will be carried out so as to be able to devote more time and more attention to the problems related to the practical activity of doing.

Attendance is mandatory.

Assessment methods

The final evaluation will be the result of the consultation of the teachers who will evaluate:
- the result of the individual practical tests carried out during the laboratory;
- the result of an individual test on the theoretical aspects;
- the result of an oral discussion test on the theoretical and practical tests carried out during the laboratory.

In order to allow each student a correct awareness of work in progress, continuous self-assessment tests are provided.

Teaching tools

The course makes use of the e-learning at the University of Bologna, based on Moodle (https://virtuale.unibo.it/) . The teaching relationship will be managed using the Moodle platform, which allows students to take the documents provided by the teacher (text, images, drawings and 3D models, etc..), To communicate with the teacher himself or interact in discussion groups, to upload documents to be audited, to participate in assessment tests, etc..
