Examination Methods
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA PER LA RICERCA SPERIMENTALE
------------------------
The written examination will consist of about 25 multiple choice questions with 5-8 possible answers, and one exercise of Epidemiology on a simple data set. Wrong answers to the written examination will be orally discussed with the student.
------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELLA RICERCA SOCIALE
------------------------
The exam test will take place in two parts and with two separate assessments: Part 1: Group work (critical analysis of empirical research in the socio-health field), programmed for the last lesson of the Course The practical exercise (group work) will allow a first socialization to empirical research. The tutorial presents itself as an added value, which helps to overcome the limits of a traditional course, so that knowledge is also embodied in experience (knowing vs. know-how; know versus know-how). The exercise is also useful in increasing useful skills for the future: job interviews and group trials, group coordination, exhibition skills, group work, etc. that are often required in large organisations; Part 2: Individual written test on the concepts and themes presented during the Course The final vote will be calculated as an average of the outcome of the first and second tests.
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA ED EPIDEMIOLOGIA
------------------------
The final evaluation of the profit will be made through a written test with exercises; if this test is passed, then an oral interview will be carried out.
