Teaching methods
face-to-face lessons with PPT presentations
Assessment methods
A final written exam will verify the acquired knowledge and skills. The test includes a series of multiple choice questions, diversified for each topic of the program and periodically updated.
The mark reported in the single teaching module is averaged (weighted average by number of credits) with the partial marks obtained in the other modules of the integrated course.
The outcome of the ongoing test of the single module will be valid only for the academic year of the test itself.
During the test the use of support material (books, notes, computer supports) is not allowed.
Students with learning disorders and\or temporary or permanent disabilities: please, contact the office responsible (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students ) as soon as possible so that they can propose acceptable adjustments. The request for adaptation must be submitted in advance (15 days before the exam date) to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of the adjustments, taking into account the teaching objectives.
