Learning assessment methods
Written (mandatory) and oral (optional) exam.
Students will be evaluated by a written exam on the topics addressed during the course. The test will consist of four open questions (maximum score of each = 5) and ten “true or false” questions (maximum score of each = 1).
The positive outcome (≥ 18/30) of this test allows access to the optional oral test. The oral exam focuses on the topics addressed during the course.
Remarks:
In each examination period, at least one written and one oral session are proposed. In order to attend the written test, students are required to register on the ESSE3 platform. In case of problems, students may contact their teacher. The optional oral exam must be taken in the same examination period of the written exam. If the students fail the oral exam, they have to repeat the written test.
Anyway, please register yourself for both sessions, you will make easier and quicker the grade registration.
ON LINE EXAMS: In case of persistence of the health emergency, the exam will be carried out remotely. It will consist of an oral test via Web-Ex, according to the Rectoral Decree n.1097/2020.
Students will receive communication on how to access the test and the Web-Ex platform by e-mail on the institutional e-mail address.
These methods may be subject to change in the event of publication of further Rectoral decrees relating to the conduct of the exams themselves.
