Dear students,
please carefully read the following clarification regarding assessment methods, study materials, assignments, and course-related activities.
1. Sources for clarification on course requirements
Information regarding the course requirements, assessment methods, and assignments is already available in the documents published on the course website. In particular, students should refer to:
-
Syllabus A.Y. 2025/2026;
-
Introduction to the course;
-
Instructions for individual assignment – non-attending students;
-
Instructions for project development – attending students.
These documents explain how the course works, the assessment methods, the study materials, and which activities are required for attending and non-attending students.
2. Non-attending students: assessment and study materials
Non-attending students have two possible assessment options.
Option 1: written exam only
Non-attending students may take the written exam according to the requirements for non-attending students. In this case, the written exam counts for 100% of the final grade.
Option 2: written exam + individual assignment
Non-attending students may choose, if they wish, to complete the individual assignment. In this case, the final grade will be composed as follows:
The individual assignment for non-attending students is optional, not compulsory.
Therefore, if a non-attending student decides not to complete the individual assignment, they will be assessed through the written exam only.
If a non-attending student voluntarily decides to complete the individual assignment, they must follow the instructions provided in the document Instructions for individual assignment – non-attending students.
As regards the study materials, non-attending students must study:
-
the materials available on the platform;
-
the course materials available on the course website;
-
the textbook chapters indicated in the syllabus for non-attending students.
3. Attending students: assessment, study materials, and course activities
For attending students, the assessment includes:
The programme for attending students is the same as for non-attending students, except for the textbook chapters specifically required for non-attending students.
Attending students are also required to take part in course-related activities connected to classroom participation. These activities may be both individual and group-based, and are designed to support learning during the course.
Since Moodle is also used to exchange materials and organize course-related activities, the sections dedicated specifically to individual activities and group-based activities have now been marked with the label “Only attending”.
These sections and activities are intended for attending students only and are not required for non-attending students.
Students are invited to consult the syllabus and the explanatory documents carefully, as the information on assessment methods, study materials, and assignments is already provided there.
