Type of delivery of the course

The Marketing Course is based on: - lectures including a theoretical part and the illustration of examples and cases, integrated by discussions on the topics covered in each class with the active participation of students; - if possible, the intervention of a manager/company executive. Attendance is optional but highly recommended. The course is in fact part of the scientific-disciplinary grouping SECS-P/08 (Economics and business management), which requires a different approach to study than that of communication sciences. It is also strongly recommended to attend the course in the second year of the Degree Course in Communication Sciences, in order to become familiar with the latter. Non-attending students are reminded that they must contact the teacher at the email address sabina.addamiano@uniroma3.it in order to: - notify their non-attending status at least 3 months before the date of the session in which they want to take the exam: - communicate the title of the selected additional book; - evaluate with the teacher the opportunity to agree on another title/part of the exam program on the basis of their scientific interests and professional orientation. Both attending and non-attending students enrolled in BA Courses other than Communication Sciences (Languages, Engineering and others) must also contact the teacher at the email address sabina.addamiano@uniroma3.it, in order to: - make their participation in the Course known at least 3 months before the date of the appeal in which they want to take the exam; - receive specific information and materials to contextualize the the Marketing Course in their learning path.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation will be carried out by: - an individual interview, possibly based on a short individual paper previously agreed upon with the teacher. The commitment for the drafting of the paper will have a positive impact on the final result; - the contribution made by each student during classes. During the individual interview, each candidate shall: - demonstrate a sound knowledge of the concepts illustrated during the course; - have the ability to expose them using clearly the technical terminology used during the course, and possibly integrating them with relevant examples; - in the case of the presentation of a paper, illustrate the methodology and criteria followed for the development of the short individual paper. The contribution to the building of a learning community and the acquisition of the Soft Skills listed in the Dublin Descriptors for the first cycle will also be positively considered as to the final assessment.
