The student's evaluation includes a written test which focuses on the topics covered in class, the prescribed bibliography and secondary texts and sources available in Moodle. The examination will last 60 minutes and will consist of:
- 10 multiple choice questions aim at verifying knowledge of the elements characterizing the teaching content,
- 1 open question aiming at testing the depth and breadth of the student’s knowledge, to assess the students’ skills to critically analyze, discuss and evaluate the main themes of the course and to ascertain their ability to structure/articulate an argument and communicate what they have learnt and reflect on it.
The score of the exam is expressed in thirtieths and it is calculated on the basis of the sum of scores of the multiple-choice question (1 per question for a total of 10 points), the open questions (10 points per question) and the individual assignment (10 points). To pass the exam, the student must achieve a score of 18/30. To achieve the maximum score (30/30 cum laude), the student must answer all the questions correctly and prove the ability to develop appropriate arguments and support reflections on educational practices starting from the course contents.
The individual and group assignments by the students will result in the reduction of one or more open questions in the final exam. During the classes, the teacher will give detailed information to attending students on this aspect.

This teaching delves into topics closely related to one or more objectives of the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development of United Nations.
