Teaching methods
Lectures are alternated with active
learning methods, through group work
and practical exercises. Discussions with
students will always be favoured, also
with a view to developing argumentative
and critical skills.
Assessment methods and criteria
The examination is unique for all
modules, is written and consists of a
multiple-choice test relating to the topics
covered in all modules.
The test consists of 30 questions and
each question corresponds to one mark.
For each question only one answer is correct.
The student must answer all questions
compulsorily.
Each student has one hour to complete
the test. For Erasmus students and
students with special needs the duration
of the test will be 1 hour and 20 minutes.
