Lectures (in class activities; 33 hours): in these sessions the teacher will introduce the students to the basic knowledge of each of the topics of the subject.

Tutorial (in class activities; 17 hours): this is a set of activities carried out jointly by the students and the teacher to deepen ideas and concepts introduced in class. At least a session will be held in computer classes.

Supervised activities: the students are expected to fulfill a few learning tasks (data search, for instance) individually or in group (according to the instructions provided by the lecturer) in order to be able to perform autonomous activities or participate to the tutorial activities in class.

Autonomous activities: the students will assimilate (individually) the topics discussed in class with the support of the tutoring of the teacher.

This course does not offer the option for comprehensive evaluation

The evaluation process will be performed according to the results of the continuous assessment only

Continuous assessment:

Continuous assessment consisting of a:

- a midterm exam covering the topics included in the block 1 (Tools and evidence of the current international trade flows) and the first item of block 2 (Trade: Classical trade theories) (30% of final grade)

- a final exam covering the rest of the topics of bloc 2 (Trade) and bloc 3 (International Monetary Relations)(50% of the final grade),

- Assignments to be solved (individually or in group), analysis of data, reports or other exercises in class (20% of the final grade).

The final grade will be the results of the weighted average of the three previous assessment activites.

In order to pass the course a student needs to fulfill the two following conditions:

1) The student's final grade has to be at least 5;

2) The grade of the final exam has to be at least 3.5.

If the student fails to fulfill one of the two previous conditions but the final grade is at least 3.5 and the student participated to -at least- 2/3 of the evaluation activities, the student is eligible for the retake exam; otherwise the student will not pass the course.

If the student passes the course it cannot be subject to further evaluation.

If the student final grade is less than 3.5 (irrispective of the result of the final exam), the student will have to repeat the course the following year.

Students whose final grade is equal to or greater than 3.5 but less than 5 and the final exam have been evaluated with at least 3.5 are eligible for the retake exam.

The retake exam will cover all thetopics discussed in class.

A student who does not perform any evaluative task is considered“not evaluable”, therefore, a student who performs a continuous assessment component can no longer be qualified with a \"not evaluable\"

Calendar of evaluation activities

The dates of the evaluation activities (midterm exams,exercises in the classroom, assignments, ...) will be announced well in advance during the semester.

The date of the final exam is scheduled in the assessment calendar of the Faculty.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as search for references or other information, text correction, or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. If the student fails to disclose the use of AI in any of the acitivity subject to evaluation will be considered a lack of academic integrity with a partial or total penalization for the grade of the activity.
