Examination Methods

Students will be assessed by an intermediate and a final exam:
1. The intermediate exam consists in a group-work analysis of the structure, M&A activity and performance of an assigned group of companies (case-study). The intermediate exam aims at assessing the capability acquired on performing and discussing a meaningful group analysis, both at a technical and an interpretive level. Presentations consist of 15-20 pages and are due towards the end of the course. They will be discussed in classroom in 20 minutes per group and will allow students to achieve a maximum of 4/31 points.
2. The final exam consists in an individual written test on the whole program, that will include multiple-choice or true/false questions, semi-open questions, case analysis and/or numerical exercises. The exam lasts 90 minutes and will provide students with maximum 27/31 points.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
