Teaching methods

The course is a component of the LABORATORIO DI CANTIERI EDILI M learning activity. Cantieri edili is divided into two courses: ORGANIZZAZIONE DEL CANTIERE M and VALUTAZIONE ECONOMICA DEI PROGETTI M. Final grade will be the weighted mean with CFU of the grades of the two courses.

Both courses include lectures and practical exercises.

Teaching methods: in - class lessons, mandatory homework assignments: project- work.

In-class lectures are aimed at learning the methods and tools needed for project work implementation. Attendance in practical classes is recommended.

Assessment methods

EN

Final exam: in - class exercises/homework and oral exam (mandatory). Homework will be evaluated and discussed in final exam. The grading of the homework will be related to the completeness, clarity and compliance with standards of the submitted practice exercises.

Achievements will be assessed by the means of a final exam. This is based on an analytical assessment of the "expected learning outcomes" described above.

In order to properly assess such achievement the examination is composed of different sessions: written session, which consist of a test, duration 2 hours; to be eligible to take the oral exam the student must score in the written test a minimum total of 18 points with a maximum of 30.

The oral session consists of the following: a review of the homework and a review of the written output, in which examiners inform the student on grading criteria, and receive any student appeal supported by appropriate explanations; and a technical conversation. Homework must be completed and passed prior the oral exam.

Higher grades will be awarded to students who demonstrate an organic understanding of the subject, a high ability for critical application, and a clear and concise presentation of the contents.

To obtain a passing grade, students are required to at least demonstrate a knowledge of the key concepts of the subject, some ability for critical application, and a comprehensible use of technical language.

A failing grade will be awarded if the student shows knowledge gaps in key-concepts of the subject, inappropriate use of language, and/or logic failures in the analysis of the subject.

Teaching tools

Personal Computer, Projector, homework and on-site building construction visits
