Examination Methods

Exams:
Learning outcomes will be assessed through a written essay based on the interviews.

Implementation of a microstudy (in written or, potentially, in video format) focusing on development tasks and educational challenges in adolescence and based on an interpretation of the theoretical content encountered in the lessons, and course reading list (and any other sources identified as required).


The study report should include a cover page (containing: the student’s first and last name, ID number, major, employment position, e-mail, and telephone number); the central part of the essay should comprise a brief summary; introduction, analysis of the chosed topic and conclusion.
The essay should be subdivided into sections, footnotes, final bibliography, and an appendix (exercices done during the lessons and the conceptual map of one of the book included in the bibliography).

The micro-study must provide clear evidence of learning by citing the texts indicated in the bibliography and other texts identified during the research process, and by providing a personal interpretation of, and reflection on, the lessons attended, bibliographical sources, and the research conducted (interviews)

The student should submit an electronic copy of the essay at least 5 days prior to the exam.
