Il carico didattico: un'analisi pilota sulla valutazione degli studenti della Sapienza

With the Bologna Declaration, priority was given to the adoption of a common university credit system for all the adhering Nations. 60 credits measure up for the workload of an average full-time student during an academic year, including time spent on lessons, seminaries, projects and labs, homework and examinations, etc. In Italy, there are no empiric studies on the solutions to the problem of the correspondence between didactic load and number of credits assigned to a course of study. The only available data on the perception of adequacy of the number of credits assigned to a course of study, have been collected by the university evaluation Units, by gathering direct opinions from the enrolled students. It seemed useful to start an investigation project, aimed at understanding how the enrolled students perceive the workload of the teaching methodologies offered by the University of Rome La Sapienza.
