Learning verification modality
The examination consists of a final oral test, which involves a discussion-interview on the topics covered during the course and those elaborated in the recommended texts. The test aims to assess the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as the ability to synthesize, achieved by the student. Additionally, the interview will verify the student's ability to communicate what they have learned with method, language propriety, and clarity of exposition. The duration of the exam varies depending on the progress of the test itself.
Extended program
The course will focus on introductory theoretical reflections on interviewing, its constituent aspects, and various types and fields of application. Additionally, it will present theories of qualitative research development, from historical evolution to methodological debate, covering premises, constituent elements, and various tools.
