Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

For attending students:

The course consists of two distinct parts: a theoretical and an operational one. The theoretical part, which will be developed online, will have a final written evaluation (through the eol platform). The test will consist of closed questions (1/3), short open questions (1/3) and large open questions (1/3).

This test will represent 50% of the final evaluation.

The second part will include learning TOC and DS techniques applied to cultural contexts. In this phase, an active participation of the students is required, in small groups, to draw up and evaluate cultural projects.

This phase would be valuated in the following proportion:

10%: quality class partecipation and cooperation

30%: Team work project and presentation

10%: peer evaluation

“Bonus Track” (Optional - from 2 to 3 points on the final grade): The best way to learn is by teaching! This “Bonus Track” is designed to do just that. The student will pick a topic of special interest. He/She will then conduct some background research on it and share his/her findings with the class conducting a real lecture. This will count as extra credits!

For not attending students: final written evaluation (through the eol platform). The test will consist of closed questions (1/3), 3 short open questions (1/3) and one detailed open question (1/3). Questions will cover the whole program (first and second part).

Strumenti a supporto della didattica
