Modalità d'esame
Attending students Coursework [30% of mark] + Video seminar [40% of mark] + Final exam (oral) [30% of mark] Coursework. During the course, students will actively participate by reading papers, critically analysing, presenting, and discussing their content. ILOs assessed: D1.8, D3.5, D3.6, and D4.1. Video seminar. Students will be assigned randomly to one of the course topics and prepare a 15-minute video seminar. In case of a positive mark, the mark will count for the remaining regular exam sessions of the academic year. A new video seminar needs to be submitted for the next exam session in case of a negative mark. ILOs assessed: D1.8, D3.5, D3.6, and D5.1. Final exam (oral). Verification questions about the topics of the course. ILOs assessed: D1.3, D1.8, D3.6, and D5.1. To be classified as an "attending student," students must complete their coursework and attend at least 75% of the activities for video seminar preparation. Non-attending students Final exam (oral) [100% of mark]. Verification questions about the topics of the course. ILOs assessed: all.
