Learning unit contents
The main objectives of this course are:
- to introduce students to the systemic epistemology;
- to raise students' awareness of the complexity and richness of this approach in the analysis of human relationships;
- to illustrate the theoretical background of systemic epistemology, the main systemic theories and their fields of application.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of my course, students should be able to:
- turn their attention to the understanding of the context and the environment in the analysis of human relationships, regardless of the field of application (family/institutions/work);
- become familiar with the laws that regulate living systems;
- recognize the features and effects of pragmatic communication and become familiar with the concept of metacommunication.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Further information:
The final grade is based on a written exam that consists of a first part with closed questions (multiple choice questions; out of 20 points) and a second part with open-ended questions (out of 20 points). The first part assesses knowledge of the subject matter, while the second part evaluates understanding of the material and the ability to apply and analyze it. Consequently, the student must obtain a minimum score of 10/20 on each part.
- In case of failure in the first part, the second part is not corrected, and a score of 0/20 is therefore assigned to this second part. The overall grade assigned is the average between the score of the first part and the score of 0/20. During the exam review session, the expected answers for the second part (open-ended questions) will be explained to the students present at this session;
- In case of success in the first part and failure in the second, only the score of the second part (score out of 20) is assigned to the student. The score of the first part is therefore not taken into account in calculating the overall grade. In this case, the student will have to retake all parts in the second session.
- In case of success in both parts, the overall grade is established by the average of the two scores.
