Report 11 02 2010 November 12 CCD update you on the points raised last Thursday in the Council of Coordination Committee.
1. Thesis:
For students of the 4th, 5th and 6th year (members of the old teaching order), insert the following changes:
- It abolished the co-scheduled application;
- is inserted figure of the external reviewer, a member of the committee who belong to the scientific theory of the allocation will be competent on the subject. He is entrusted with the task of reading the argument entirely and then, in discussions, ask questions designed to explore the mastery of and contribution in research work by the student.
- also in the evaluation in closed session, any member of the Committee will be required to give a personal assessment of the candidate. To date, however, the Commission of Science often is confined to approve the vote proposed by the Rapporteur, usually 8 points (maximum score), not entering into the work of candidates.
To this end, the Working Group will be reconvened between students and professors to enter into the details of how the evaluations of individual Commissioners will weigh in the evaluation final (simple arithmetic mean, arithmetic mean, the elimination of extremes, ...). We will let you know.
For students of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year, ie the members of New Order: The Working Group will focus on the following degrees:
· reallocation of scores for graduate course and a distinction second session of Science (July, October or March);
· redeployment of a score based on the number of awards and / or the number of months of study abroad;
· Formulation of criteria for the evaluation of work and dissertation: type of research, quality of presentation, mastery of the subject, skill in debate (criteria La Sapienza of Rome, surely perfectible).
regards the last point, at this Working Group on Medical Student thesis we intend to deepen and focus on the criteria proposed by Professor ccd Gardani: assessment of the contribution to the work of the student's assigned search and display capabilities and mastery of the topic.
2. It 'was written the new book activities for the vocational student enrolled in the New Order. The only change is the failure to award a formal personal tutor, each student is the figure of responsible for the training in different departments (the primary).
NB: For students in Year 3: As soon as you get the training manual, remember to sign the training activities carried out (keep them in mind).
will be a specially created Commission (which we ourselves have repeatedly proposed to establish) that work to improve the training.
3. Residential Courses:
It 'was decided that the number of credits for residential courses of the 1st and 2nd year will increase from the current 3 and 4 to 2 for residential both years (with a fall in the minimum number of hours frequency to 50). This was to participate in it only the students really interested.
While these changes do not seem decisive about the usefulness of the residential courses, the other the same Prof. Galli has proved willing to work with us throughout the year on the content of these sessions.
4. Starting this semester, in the evaluation of teaching, will miss the opportunity to evaluate individual teachers. We advise you to continue to explicitly express an opinion on the custom of free comments.
