• Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: students should be able to apply the acquired knowledge and to understand and solve problems related to the design of tourist offers declined in function of the specific target.
• Autonomy of judgment: students must know how to use both on a conceptual and operative way acquired knowledge with independent judgement and skills in different contexts.
• Communication skills: students must acquire the technical language typical of the discipline to communicate clearly and unambiguously with stakeholders specialists and non-specialists.
• Learning skills: students must develop appropriate learning skills that enable them to continue to deepen in an autonomous way the main topics of the disciplines, especially in the working contexts in which they will operate.

Psychology of tourism: written test (multiple choice test in the computer Classroom on AulaWeb) at the end of the course that focuses on texts 1 and 2, and on what was said during the lessons and not covered by the texts, only for the assessment at the end of the course and for summer appeals. Starting from the appeal in September no distinction between attending and non-attending students will be made.

Psychology of tourism: it is permitted to take the examination for a maximum of 4 times over the assessment at the end of the course. The failure to pass the examination on the third and on the fourth attempt involves the recording of a negative outcome and, consequently, the inability to take the exam in.a.y. 2019-20. The student who falls, in this case, may take the exam again in.a.y.  2020-21.

Students who fail an exam can sit it again at the successive exam date.
