Assessment methods and criteria

The summative evaluation of the learning takes place with a written test consisting of two open questions (of equivalent weight) about the content of the course; The time available is 60 minutes. Each answer is evaluated on a scale of 0-30, according to the objectives of the course, using a predefined evaluation method made known in online course material on the Elly platform. The final result (vote) is given by the sum of the scores obtained for each answer; Praise is given when the answers have all the highest score and are formulated with a proper use of the disciplinary vocabulary.
The result of the test is communicated by e-mail in time for the eventual registration to the next exam for this course.
In order to obtain the 12 credits for the course didattica generale the student has to pass both modules ‘Elements of didactic and educational research’ and ‘Didactic for skills’. The result of the final test of the module Elemnts of Didactic and educational research is therefore used to calculate the arithmetic mean with that of the module Didactic for skills. It is recommended to follow the modules and carry out the final tests in the above order.
After the may 2018 exam session, the tests of both modules are integrated in an only solution.
