Teaching Methods

Frontal classes, exercises and simulations.

During the classes, the professor will teach the themes both at the theoretical and at the practical level with exercises that foresee a strong interactive component between teacher and students.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The exam consists of a written test related to the entire program (Psychometrics II) with multiple choice questionnaire (FIRST PART) and exercises to be performed with the support of a formulary (SECOND PART). Any oral integration will be at the discretion of the teacher.

The use of a calculator is recommended for the completion of the exam (whereas other instruments, like a telephone, are not allowed).

Evaluation: final vote

The maximum number of points of the evaluation (30) are subdivided as follows: 20 points for the theoretical questions and 10 points for the exercises.

Contacts/More Information

It is necessary to book online by the deadline, through a computerized procedure present on the faculty website (www.unich.it). The reservation can be made until the expiry date shown on the booking page next to each exam. Otherwise, students will not be able to take the exam.

The classes are organized in 64 hours of frontal teaching, subdivided in 2 classes of 3 hours a week, based on the academic schedule.
