TEACHING METHODS
Teaching methods encompass lectures, analysis of practical case studies and discussion with entrepreneurs and managers giving guest lectures. These methods are aimed to provide participants both with the needed knowledge regarding international management and with the ability to apply such knowledge practically and critically.
The students may optionally decide to participate to a teamwork which consists of the analysis of the exporting strategy of a firm. The teamwork is totally elective and is intended as an opportunity for participants to test their ability to apply the acquired knowledge. The instructions for the teamwork will be presented during the lectures. The teamwork will be evaluated with 1 to 3 points, which will be summed to the mark of the exam.
Learning assessment procedures
Examination methods and contents are the same for all students (for both students who attend and students who do not attend the lectures).
ASSESSMENT METHODS: Written exam which includes five questions with a limited space for each answer (an example of the exam will be provided in Moodle).
AIMS: The exam aims at evaluating both the level of knowledge acquired by the students and their ability to apply such knowledge to practical business situations.
CONTENTS: The exam covers all the contents of the course (including entrepreneurs’ and managers’ guest lectures).
Evaluation criteria

Type D and Type F activities
Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dal Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Management e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.

Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal Teaching and learning centre dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti iscritti ai corsi di laurea, volti alla promozione delle competenze trasversali: https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, inlcuse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
