Metodi didattici
Teaching methods include traditional lectures, flipped lessons, in-group
case studies discussions, simulations, and role-playing. Experts and practitioners will be invited to give speeches to discuss specific topics during the course.
Each approach to teaching is designed to improve different students’
skills. More specifically, traditional lectures are devoted to developing their knowledge and understanding. As teaching tools, the professor will show online interviews with the founders of the discipline and videos of sociocognitive experiments to allow students to absorb and internalize the topics more personally, so they can also develop their ability to make judgments.
Flipped lessons, case studies, simulations, and role-playing allow students to go in-depth into topics and discuss them collectively so they can improve their abilities in applying knowledge and understanding and their learning and communication skills.
The professor will also propose game-based learning (using puzzles and similar games) to increase students’ self-consciousness about
their behaviors in group dynamics.
Afternoon sessions will be organized to support the students in
the preparation of their final project work

Verifica Apprendimento
The final exam will be different for students who will attend at least 65%
of lectures (attending students) and those that will not (not attending
students).
Attending students will work in a small group (maximum 3 persons) on a project all along the course and are expected to actively participate in in-class discussions and activities. At the end of the project, students should give a 20-minute presentation to the class and each team member is requested to speak. Projects’ activities are devoted to evaluating students’ ability to apply knowledge and understanding, their communication skills, and their ability to make judgments Project evaluation and in-class participation will account for 65% of the final mark. The 35% will be given by a final written exam composed of 11 multiple-choice questions (0,5 points each) and one open question (5 points). These questions will evaluate students’ abilities to communicate in a written form and their knowledge and understanding.
Project work will be structured in a way that will allow for evaluating both collective and individual performance and contribution. Topics for the project will be agreed upon with the professor by mid-October and chosen among those included in the course program and specifically oriented to enhance students’ understanding of issues related to OB and organizational ethics and wellbeing. The project's deliverables will be: i) a 20 minutes in-class presentation; ii) a 10 pages report and bibliography will be partially assigned by the professor and partially self-retrieved by students.
Non-attending students will do a final written exam composed of 11
multiple-choice questions (0,5 points each), two open questions (5 points each), and a final problem-solving issue where they should propose an integrated solution to a complex OB problem. This last question is specifically designed to verify their abilities to make judgments and to learn.
The status of “attending student” will be valid for all the exam sessions of the academic year in which he/she will get the status. However, if an
attending student will not pass the exam on the first attempt or he/she
will reject a mark, in the following round he/she should take the full exam (as a not attending student).
