Exercises

During the training the participants will fill out the following exercises:


Multiple choice questions

Case study: Case study exercises commonly present trainees with real problems faced by professionals in the real world. Usually, students are provided with a set of documents/information outlining a specific problem or situation, requiring the trainee to formulate a plan of action to solve/address the issue. 

Glossary exercise: it aims to assess the trainees’ comprehension of the key concepts of each lesson. Considering that, each student MUST insert AND define 2/3 concepts per lesson, which they learned and identified as crucial. 

Drag and Drop exercise requires the students to drag a piece of text (e.g. a word or a phrase) or an image and drop it at the corresponding place. 

Concept maps are similar to a web that gives a visual representation of a students’ comprehension of a specific topic and the relations that they can make between different concepts. 

One sentence summary: the trainee has to sum up the main learning goals of the lesson in one sentence
