Learning assessment methods
The written and oral exams aim to verify the acquisition of knowledge on the topics addressed during the course.
The written exam is considered as one with the Audiology module and will consist of 4 open questions (maximum score for each = 6) and 6 multiple choice questions (maximum score for each = 1).
The grade will be expressed in thirtieths. Time for the test: 40 min/student
A positive result (=/>18/30) of the written exam allows access to the oral exam.Suggested readings and bibliography
