Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of:
- an oral presentation and discussion, by the different groups, of the maps and schemes produced during the exercise; the time available for the presentation is 1 hour; the evaluation will be carried out taking into account the correctness, completeness and graphic quality of the papers, the capacity of critical reasoning on the study carried out, the quality and effectiveness of the exhibition;
- a written test with 10 questions, both closed and open, on the theoretical topics explained in class; the time available for the test is 2 hours; the evaluation will be carried out taking into account the correctness and completeness of the answers, the organization of the speech and the ability to summarize, as well as the lexical and grammatical correctness.
Non-attending students, who must perform and present the exercise individually, should contact Prof. Rovelli to define the study area and the maps to produce.
