Metodi didattici
- Traditional lectures
- Learning by doing
- Problem-solving execerices
- Case studies analysis.
Attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended. Each session forms an integral and essential part of the unit as a whole. Students are expected to contribute to sessions: this does not mean simply turning up and letting others do the work but playing an active role in group discussions. If asked to prepare material in advance, students should make every effort to do so.

Verifica Apprendimento
- Assessment of a Research Project (40% of the total grade) and Written Exam (60% of the total grade)
The exam is based on the textbook - all chapters - and the slides used during lectures.
The questions aim to assess both understanding and comprehension of the topics covered during the lectures.
The duration of the written exam is 30 minutes.
Grading Scale: the grading scale ranges from 0 to 30 cum laude, with passing the exam requiring a minimum score of 18/30.
The exam is considered passed after achieving a MINIMUM GRADE of 18/30+ in both partial exams (Research Project) and (Written Exam) regardless of the average achieved in both.
Useful materials for the test: calculator and dictionary.
Communication of results: the result of the exam will be communicated through the esse3 system. Acceptance or rejection of the grade must occur in accordance with the current academic regulations of the University.
