Class groups
The educational activities are organized into class groups: in the 2017-18 academic year, for the compulsory courses included in the study plan of the first 4 years of studies there are 2 class groups (no. 19 and 20) which are made up of around 150 students each. Class groups are allocated to each student for all compulsory courses of the year of studies in which the student is enrolled before the start of lessons and each class group is assigned a specific classroom for the majority of the courses. All students belonging to the same class group follow the lessons in their assigned classroom and have the same teachers. For course planning purposes (number of students and places available) the allocation to the class group is binding. The class group structure is the same for the whole academic year. With reference to the educational activities, student allocation to the class groups include the following procedure:

Quantitative Methods Crash Courses
Quantitative methods Preparatory courses are courses which last some weeks and which are held during the first semester of lectures. Math Preparatory courses are designed to reinforce a few mathematical concepts at a pre-university level. This helps students to start university with greater confidence and comprehension. The main topics covered include: equations, inequality, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, power functions, exponentials and logarithms. Attendance is highly recommended; there is no exam at the completion of these courses. The class timetable and any changes are available on the yoU@B student's Diary and at www.unibocconi.eu/classtimetable. The course profiles of Quantitative Methods Preparatory courses are published on-line at www.unibocconi.eu/courses. Last change 20/07/2017 15:19 |

Class timetable
The class timetable has been planned so that educational activities are mainly concentrated in either the morning or the afternoon, in order to make it easier for students to dedicate the other part of the day to individual study. In the first semester of the first year for example, CLMG students have lessons on 2 mornings (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and 3 afternoons (Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays) a week; in the second semester CLMG students have lessons on 3 mornings (Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays) and 2 afternoons (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) a week. The years of studies following the first one have a different class timetable which is more structured as the program structure includes also compulsory courses chosen by the students in the second and fourth years and elective courses in the fifth year. The first, second ,third year class timetable includes timetable slots - different from the first and second semester - schedule completely dedicated to foreign languages. This ensures that other lessons and language lessons do not clash with each other. In the same way, the timetable of the fifth year includes timetable slots – different in the first semester and in the second one – completely dedicated to elective courses; this is aimed to avoid overlap between class timetable of elective courses. Students are invited to check the class timetable of elective courses before making the choice of the courses to be included in their study plan, specifically if they wish to choose compulsory courses to be chosen as elective courses. It is not possible, due to the complexity of the class timetable structure, exclude any class timetable overlapping between elective courses’ lectures. Students are therefore recommended to carefully check the class timetable of elective courses before making the choice of courses to be included in the study plan, specifically if they wish to choose, as elective courses, compulsory courses to be chosen by the students of fourth or fifth year or elective courses of the Master of Science programs open to the CLMG Program. In addition, there may also be some complementary learning activities scheduled to review some of the concepts dealt with during the normal teaching sessions. These activities are generally held at a different time from the lessons (usually in the evening from 6:00pm to 7:30pm). As a general guide, no educational activities are scheduled between 1:00pm and 2:30pm on Fridays, both in first and second semester, this period being reserved for student group activities. The general class timetable and any changes are published on the yoU@B student Diary and on the University's Internet site at www.unibocconi.eu/classtimetable. After students have finalized their enrolment or after enrolling in the academic year, they can view their daily class timetable and the personalized class timetable from both yoU@B at http://agenda.unibocconi.it/. The teaching activities for the 2017-2018 academic year will follow the schedule below: First, second, third, fourth and fifth year:
Foreign language courses will start on 6 September 2017 in the first semester; on 5 February 2017 in the second semester as for all other courses. Last change 22/08/2017 16:20 |

Office hours
During office hours students have the opportunity to consult teachers. This gives students the chance to seek further explanations or clarifications of the topics that were not fully understood during lessons.
If decided by the professor, the office hours could be carried out only upon reservation by the student: in this case the reservation must exclusively be made through the yoU@B student Diary. Last change 20/07/2017 15:21 |

Teaching assistants
For some courses the teacher is assisted by a tutor who assists also the students for a better comprehension of the topics held in class, in case studies and in the exercises. The tutor also manages the online community. The tutor can also be assistant in class furing lessons which require the use of software or for case discussion.
