• lecture on topics interspersed with questions through an app (ex Mentimeter)


• team project, team coaching and project tutorial support

An interaction (contact hours) of 12h is intended for the concepts learning and for the presentations of two groups on the progress. 28.5h are for the development of two group works.

Evaluation Type

Eligibility for exams

The modality will be "exceptionally only by a final exam".

Assessment components:

• Video of the team work process and two results obtained (assessed by the professors)


• Peer assessment (within each group)

Calculation formula of final grade

• Calculation formula for the final classification




• Final Rating = 70% (Video Rating) + 30% x (Video Rating) x (Peer Rating Weight)


• The Weighting’ Peer Assessment’ is calculated in the following way


• A classification by pairs attributed to the students if and to the colleagues within each group are 100%. This evaluation results from an agreement between the members of each team.


• Student year(s) with the maximum weighted classification is attributed to the classification given by the teacher.


• The remaining two rankings are calculated according to their ranking (%) as part of the maximum ranking (%) attributed to the student with the best ranking.


• Or student with 0% had final classification of zero.




• In accordance with GR 11/02/2020, Chapter II, art 13, point 1, the final classification will be expressed on an entire numerical scale from 0 to 20 values.
