ATTENDING STUDENTS
Because of the active interaction and the continuous feedback (from peers and instructors), attending students are evaluated on the basis of their active and continuous contribution throughout the entire duration of the seminars (es. preparation of the presentation message, presentation design, peer feedback with other students,...). 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.
- Final evaluation: pass/fail.
