Bibliography

Didactic methods

The theoretical part of the course will be presented with theoretical illustrations, case examples, with the request for re-elaboration by students.
The internship exercises will take place in a practical and theoretical form. The contents will be proposed using verbal illustration, demonstration, examples and extensive practical exercises.

Learning assessment procedures

The aim of the final evaluation of the course is to ascertain the knowledge of the program topics and the ability to apply them to situations and examples different from those proposed in the course. The final assessment of the learning outcomes includes:
1. Verification of attendance (70%) and measurement of the level of mastery of the internship exercises. Mastery must be understood as operational knowledge of the principles and rules of the various activities and the ability to perform the main motor patterns according to one's motor skills.
2. Written exam, with multiple choice and open questions, relating to the topics of the theoretical modules.
3. All the assessments will contribute to the definition of the final evaluation through the weighted average of the marks expressed out of thirty.
4. In the exam sessions following the winter one, the written tests will be replaced by an oral interview with the same objectives and topics

Evaluation criteria

The final grade expressed out of thirty, will take into account any evaluation of 30 with honors of the individual tests, attributing a score of 31 to them.
