Type of Assessment
Students will be allowed to take a written test (two open questions), during the winter session, on the first semester program (which corresponds to 6 CFU of the 15 CFU). The evaluation is sufficient if the answers are fully sufficient and there are no serious mistakes or gaps. The evaluation will be excellent if all questions will be treated exhaustively. The descriptive knowledge, more or less extensive but without critical analysis can determine a sufficient evaluation but unlikely above 24/30.
The final oral exam consists in three-four questions on the entire program (15 CFU), for students who haven’t passed the written test, or in two questions on the second semester program (9 CFU), for students who have passed the written test. The evaluation is sufficient if the answers are fully sufficient and there are no serious mistakes or gaps. The evaluation will be excellent if all questions will be treated exhaustively. The descriptive knowledge, more or less extensive but without critical analysis or reference can determine a sufficient evaluation but unlikely above 24/30.
For students who have exposed their research in class and who have passed the written test, the final oral exam consists in one question on the second semester program (9 CFU).
