Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

It is not the case.

Program

 

The programmatic contents are therefore contextual to the areas and to the various institutions where the contact takes place. 
There is a protocol between these institutions and the Faculty for the collaboration and the presence of the students. 
The contact is locally supervised by a professional with educational functions and oriented in the faculty by a guiding teacher, who meets regularly with the students, to ensure the connection to observation, practical requirements and conceptual, methodological and ethical reflection. 
It is also the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure the mediation between the faculty and the institutions, at least initially, to adjust the integration and in order to obtain a qualitative evaluation.

Eligibility for exams

The evaluation system adopted shall include compliance with attendance, without prejudice to Article 9 (4) of the Evaluation Regulation. If necessary, the definition of the specific modalities for the implementation of the fieldwork for the case of working students will be the object of contractualisation in the Seminar presentation session.

Calculation formula of final grade

Elements of distributed evaluation: 1. Individual critical report of the work carried out during the semester. This report integrates the observation made and the contributions of the tutorials; 2. Individual elements required and produced for the tutoring sessions; 3. Public presentation in a collective seminar of the course of observation and reflection, to be held at the end of the semester. Each of these elements of the distributed evaluation will be graded from zero to twenty values, with a relative weight of 50% for the final report, 30% for the elements required and produced for the tutoring sessions and 20% for the public presentation. In case of failure in the final report, it can be reformulated and later delivered at the time of appeal. The proven existence of plagiarism or other type of academic fraud detected in the final report has the effect of annulling the same, also triggering the procedures provided for in Article 14 of the Evaluation Regulation.

Examinations or Special Assignments

It is not the case.

Internship work/project

It is not the case.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

If necessary, the definition of the modalities for carrying out fieldwork, in the case of student workers, will be the object of contractualisation in the Seminar presentation session.

Classification improvement

The improvement of the final classification will take place according to the terms set out in the Evaluation Regulation and will be carried out by reformulating the report in its final version.
