	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES. SOME CLASSROOM EXERCISES INVOLVING SIMPLE STATISTICAL ANALYSES ARE SOLVED BY USING STATISTICAL SOFTWARE.

	Verification of learning
	THE GOAL OF THE FINAL EXAM IS THE EVALUATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, THE ABILITY TO APPLY THAT KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS ON PROBABILITY, TO ESTIMATE UNKNOWN MODEL PARAMETERS, TO MAKE DECISION ON THE BASIS OF HYPOTHESES TESTING, TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF PRIMARY FACTORS ON PHYSICAL AND/OR TECHNOLOGICAL PHENOMENA AND TO ASSESS SIMPLE EMPIRICAL MODELS FOR THEM. FURTHERMORE, THE PERSONAL JUDGEMENT, THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE LEARNING ABILITIES ARE ALSO EVALUATED. THE FINAL EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST WHICH AIMS TO ASSESS THE ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS ABOUT THE TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, SUCH AS: 1) BASIC PROBABILITY EVALUATIONS; 2) BASIC STATISTICAL INFERENCE AND DECISION MAKING; 3) BASIC ANOVA AND LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSES. THE WRITTEN TEST IS EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THE CORRECTNESS OF THE APPROACH AND THE RESULTS ACCORDING TO A SCORE, EXPRESSED OUT OF THIRTY. THE “INSUFFICIENT” SCORE IMPLIES THE WRITTEN TEST REPETITION. AFTER THE WRITTEN TEST, STUDENTS MAY ASK TO DO AN ORAL INTERVIEW, TOO. THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE ADDRESSED TO VERIFY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ALSO ON THE TOPICS NOT COVERED BY THE WRITTEN TEST. IN SUCH CASE, THE WRITTEN TEST WILL CONTRIBUTE FOR 60% TO THE FINAL SCORE, WHILE THE ORAL INTERVIEW FOR 40%. AN ORAL INTERVIEW THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT IMPLIES THE REPETITION OF THE WRITTEN TEST, TOO. FULL MARKS WITH DISTINCTION MAY BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY CAN APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE WITH CONSIDERABLE AUTONOMY TO EXERCISES AND THEORETICAL ISSUES.
