| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE CONTAINS THEORETICAL LECTURES, IN-CLASS EXERCITATIONS AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY EXERCITATIONS. DURING THE LABORATORY EXERCITATIONS THE STUDENTS ARE DIVIDED IN TEAMS AND ARE ASSIGNED A PROJECT TO BE DEVELOPED ALONG THE DURATION OF THE COURSE. THE PROJECT INCLUDES ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND IS ESSENTIAL BOTH FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ABILITY TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A SOFTWARE SYSTEM STARTING FROM A SPECIFICATION, AND FOR DEVELOPING AND REINFORCING THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A TEAM. MOREOVER, IN THE LABORATORY EXERCITATIONS THE STUDENTS WILL ALSO USE SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR THE AUTOMATION OF TESTS, AND FOR REVISION CONTROL. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE TO THE FINAL ASSESSMENT AND TO GAIN THE CREDITS CORRESPONDING TO THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS OF ASSISTED TEACHING ACTIVITIES. |

|---|---|
| THE EXAM AIMS AT EVALUATING, AS A WHOLE: THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE, THE ABILITY TO APPLY THAT KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOFTWARE SYSTEMS, INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT, COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE ABILITY TO LEARN. THE EXAM INCLUDES THE DISCUSSION OF A PROJECT WORK, DEVELOPED DURING THE COURSE, AIMED AT EVALUATION OF THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE, TO WRITE A TECHNICAL REPORT, THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT, THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A TEAM, AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH IS TO ASSESS THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTANDING, THE ABILITY TO LEARN, ORAL PRESENTATION. THE PROJECT WORK IS A SMALL SOFTWARE PROJECT (ASSIGNED BY THE TEACHER) DEVELOPED IN TEAM, IN WHICH THE STUDENTS HAVE TO PERFORM AND DOCUMENT ALL THE ACTIVITIES IN THE SOFTWARE LIFE CYCLE. THE ORAL EXAMINATION WILL COVER THE THEORETICAL TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND ASSESSMENT WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE KNOWLEDGE DEMONSTRATED BY THE STUDENT AND THE DEGREE OF ITS DEPTH, PROVEN ABILITY TO LEARN, THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATION. IN THE FINAL EVALUATION, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS, THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT WORK WILL ACCOUNT FOR 40% WHILE THE INTERVIEW FOR 60%. THE CUM LAUDE MAY BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY CAN APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE AUTONOMOUSLY EVEN IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED IN THE COURSE. |
