The student will develop independently (individually or in cooperation with other students) a case study of their choice, among those proposed by the teacher, using one of the methodologies illustrated during the course. The oral exam will focus on the discussion of the case study.
The oral exam will allow to verify the ability to analyze and represent a set of data from different sources in order to make them usable by a hypothetical end user identified with the case study.
