Type of evaluation

The final written test, carried out by computer, generally at the headquarters of the Online Piazza of the Roma Tre University, is mainly composed of questions with closed answers (multiple choice, with four answer alternatives, one of which is correct) and some open-ended questions, which concern in particular course contents reviewed and explored in depth in the synchronous meetings. The synchronous activities include the construction and development of concept maps and text comprehension tests also with a self-evaluation function between peers and with the teacher.
