Teaching methods

The course includes lectures supported by laboratory activities and seminars.

Theoretical lessons will be preparatory to the laboratory activities. During the theoretical lessons the topics of the course will be illustrated. The laboratory activities will be aimed at simulating some management and organization activities of a construction site for the realization of the project conceived during the Green Infrastructures course.

During the latter the student will be guided in the production of a final report including some accounting documents drawn up by the student himself.

The report will be subject to discussion and revision in the classroom with the teacher and evaluated during the final exam.

Assessment methods

The knowledge and skills of this teaching are assessed in the following way. During the final exam, the knowledge and skills acquired on each of the two modules are assessed.

The learning evaluation of the contents of course involves an oral exam in which the teacher will evaluate:

• the final documents (report and construction site documentation drawn up during the laboratory);
  their discussion;

• the knowledge and preparation achieved on the theoretical part through specific questions asked to the candidate.
  

The overall evaluation is formulated by the commission taking into account:

• for the theoretical part: the level of knowledge and skills acquired by the student in relation to the contents of all teaching units.

• for documents: content, clarity, coherence and correctness.
  The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.

To pass the exam, the student demonstrates that he has acquired sufficient knowledge on the main contents of the course. To achieve honors, a personal study of the topics covered is necessary, carried out with competence and autonomy.

Failure to attend theoretical lessons or exercises does not preclude passing the exam: those who cannot attend must contact the teacher to contact a substitute activity.

The dates, times and locations of the exams are published on the degree course website. To register for exam sessions, use the AlmaEsami web application.
