PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
No specific prerequisite.
The final exam, which takes place on a single session date, includes questions on all three modules that constitute the integrated course. The exam is divided into three partial tests: one relating to module 1 (motor activity in an aquatic environment); one relating to module 2 (elements of food hygiene and sports nutrition); one relating to module 3 (green exercise and physical and sport outdoor activities).
To pass the tests, the student is required to demonstrate adequate theoretical knowledge of the topics covered and the ability to re-elaborate and analyse case studies and proposed applications.
The single final mark, expressed out of thirty, is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained for each module. The test is considered passed with a vote of at least 18/30. A grade lower than 18/30 in one of the modules implies the repetition of the whole exam, regardless of the mark obtained in the other modules.
Specifically:
Module 1 (motor activity in an aquatic environment)
The verification of learning takes place through the final exam, which will be carried out in oral form in an individual interview, and with the oral presentation of the written work of a case chosen by the student, in agreement with the lecturer.
Module 2 (elements of food hygiene and sports nutrition)
Test with 33 multiple choice questions. For each question, in the three answer options, there is only one correct answer and two incorrect ones. 1 point is awarded for a correct answer and 0 points for a wrong answer. The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
Module 3 (green exercise and physical and sport outdoor activities)
Test with 31 multiple choice questions. For each question, in the three answer options, there is only one correct answer and two incorrect ones. 1 point is awarded for a correct answer and 0 points for a wrong answer. The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
