Examination Methods

Students' preparation will be assessed through a written (if in presence) or oral (if online) exam that will include open questions on the theory and analytical exercises. The two exams are equivalent in terms of content and require the same skills and knowledge. The exam, whatever its form, will test the students' accurate and thorough understanding of the concepts, methods, and models explained during the course, and their ability to use theoretical tools to solve empirical questions.

Moreover, students are given the opportunity to present an article to the class. The lecturers will distribute the articles among which a student can select the one (s)he wants to present.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
