PSYCHOLOGY OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL INTERVENTION
The exam consists of a written test (2 open questions) and an oral test.
The written test is different for attending and non-attending students.
The oral exam aims to assess the ability to critically relate the different sources of knowledge.
In the written test, attending students discuss a case of demand analysis. In addition, they have to deepen a topic of the course.
Non-attending students answer two open questions, the first one on the theory of demand analysis, the second one on psychosociological training or on counseling models.
If not in presence, the exam will be only oral.
Students with learning disabilities, other forms of disability or any special education need are suggested to contact the professors at the beginning of the course in order to agree on the most suitable teaching and assessment methods which, with respect of the learning objectives of the course, will take into account specific personal learning modes and provide proper compensatory tools.
Assessment criteria are: the quality of the exposure, the correct use of the specialized vocabulary, the use of critical reflection.
