Teaching methods

The lessons will be interactive, including group work on course topics, for which students are expected to have consulted the designated text books throughout the course (and not simply at the end), so they can participate effectively. Small and large group discussions will be stimulated both on the analyses undertaken and on the texts studied. The course will be delivered in a blended learning mode, with the support of the elearning-cds platform. Attendance is strongly recommended for the duration of the course, as the topic of evaluation planning and design is often unfamiliar to students.

Assessment methods

The test will be held during the standard exam sessions, at the end of the course. There will be no interim tests. Students are reminded that there will be no pre-appeals which have not been approved by the Course Council. The exam takes place in writing, has a duration of two hours, and comprises one part related to the compulsory texts and a second part related to the student’s chosen text. The exam aims to test not only knowledge (which is in the lower part of the learning taxonomy), but also the skills of analysis and synthesis. The test consists of multiple choice questions and short essays. Attainment of the pass mark (18/30) secures 50% of the score obtainable, and higher scores up to 30/30 are allocated proportionately. Erasmus students, who should contact the teacher at the beginning of the course, will take an oral exam on the dates established within the standard exam timetable.

To sign up on the exam list (only for written test) you can use Almaesami: the list will close a week before the exam date. The dates in which you can take the test will be available on Almaesami.
