Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes of this course are theoretical-practical. Over the period, in each topic, the concepts are presented and the methods used in the various activities carried out by investment banking are analyzed and discussed. Presentation, analysis and discussion of the topics associated with the different activity segments will be done with support to different material available on the Moodle platform. Classes require active student participation. Students are asked to carry out the analysis of scientific articles, which will translate into the preparation of the critical analysis that will count for the purposes of evaluation.
Classes are planned so that the student has to do research on scientific articles related to one of the topics covered in the classes and develop a systematic review of the literature.
