During the teaching, students will be offered individual and/or group work and case study analysis, also in the form of e-tivities, to encourage the application of theoretical content and the development of professional skills. Furthermore, the proposed exercises will allow to verify the practical application of the topics covered during the theoretical path.

Assessment Methods


The exam consists of a written test and, for those who want to improve their written grade, which must be higher than 18/30, an oral test. The topics covered in the exam will reflect those covered during the course and present in the program. The student's personal contribution, his/her work, commitment and consistency shown during the period of attendance will be evaluated. To pass the exam it will be necessary to acquire correct, clear and concise terminology, paying attention to the possible logical connections between the topics developed during the course of study.
Student assessment includes:
• Final exam: written exam, to be taken during one of the scheduled exam sessions.
The final grade will be assigned according to the following scale:
• 18–22/30: basic knowledge with some gaps;
