Prerequisiti


No specific skills and/or prior knowledge other than those required for enrolling in the Bachelor course.

Metodi didattici

The course will be provided through traditional classroom lectures and practical classes taking place in the computer labs. The lectures will be practical, with analysis of business-like examples. For the best effectiveness, we invite each student to bring his/her own laptop to the classroom, in order to run live examples and exercises under the supervision of the teacher. To this end, the student must make sure that a spreadsheet (Excel by Microsoft Office or Calc by Libre Office) is installed on his/her own device, and that the working files made available on the course website have been downloaded.

Verifica Apprendimento

The exam consists of an automated test provided as a quiz and lasts 45 minutes. The test comprises 12 questions, organized as follows:
- 5 questions designed to measure the candidate's knowledge of the concepts listed in the program ;
- 7 questions designed to measure the competence in using spreadsheets, i.e., the practical ability to use some of the most relevant features.
The above questions have a different weight on the final mark (ranging from 1 to 6), according to their difficulty. The maximum mark is 32.
