Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Calculation formula of final grade

Students are assessed through:
- Final written exam;
- Practical assignments to be done during practical classes.
Each of these components weights 50% in the final grade.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Practical classes will consist of small group oral presentations and collective discussions about specific questions concerning the “working world”. Students will be organized in small groups. Supported on documents given by the teachers or in self-searched documents, each of these small groups shall present a theme or a problematic to the rest of the class. The role of the class will be to critically analyse, to discuss and to integrate what has been presented, based on specific bibliography and in their own experience and personal opinion. Both oral presentations and critics will be evaluated according to parameters presented and discussed in the beginning of the year. Moreover, there will also be classes where invited personalities will present, in depth, themes in which they are “specialists”, either in terms of professional or research activity.
