To be considered attending, the student has to attend at least 75% of the course.
- Final evaluation: pass/fail.
NOT ATTENDING STUDENTS
Non attending students are evaluated through a written exam (multiple choice) entirely based on the readings indicated in the "teaching material" section". The exam is aimed at evaluating students’ ability to recognize the main elements that characterize effective teamwork and influential presentations.
