Learning assessment methods
As an Elective Didactic Activity (ADE) chosen by the student, this ADE aims to personalize the student's educational path on the basis of their inclinations and interests, deepening specific knowledge and training aspects by discussion of topics that are not included in the "core curriculum" of the Integrated Courses.
The acquisition of the credits assigned to ADE takes place only upon reaching 100% of attendance.
