Teaching mode
The lessons are distributed on two days a week.
Each lesson consists of a first part of lectures on the contents of the course and a second part in which case studies are presented, in-depth (even in operational terms) the topics treated in a more theoretical way, exercises are held.
The students must carry out a more projectual part which will become part of the final exam and consists in the discussion of a planning tool or of different planning instruments converging on the same territory and their foreseen or foreseeable territorial effects, also in relation to Sustainable Development. Everything must be referred to the territorial, legislative and planning context. Starting from the second half of the course, after the illustration and the explanation of the procedures for carrying out the project, the second part of the lessons will also be dedicated to the verification, discussion and deepening of the students' work.
Some lessons will have a seminar character, inviting scholars, administrators, experts and planners to illustrate interesting case studies.
Frequency
Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended. In particular, it is important to follow in the classroom the activity illustrative, explanatory and evaluative of the project work
Exam mode
The evaluation consists of two parts: the design processing part and the evaluation of learning related to the theoretical parts and the critical study of the course.
As regards the part of the project elaboration, this will be evaluated already during the course and the access to the final exam will be allowed when the completion of the project work will be verified. The design work is group (2-3 components), but the contribution of each component must be recognizable. It consists, inter alia, of a report and a presentation, elaborated according to the indications provided in the classroom and available in a clear and detailed manner on the e-learning platform of the course.
During the exam, in the first part some questions of in-depth analysis and critical reading of the project-type work will be carried out, while in the second part some questions will be asked to verify the learning related to the theoretical parts and the critical study of the course.
The two parts will weigh each for 50% of the final score of the exam, which then will correspond to the average between the votes attributed to the two parties.
The critical capacity and autonomy of the student will be particularly appreciated.
The presentations of the project work will be used to evaluate the exhibition, communication and argumentative skills.
