Examination Methods
The aim of the examination is to assess a) the student knowledge of the main topics of the course and b) the ability to solve some practical case-study taken from the textbook and from case studies.
The examination is done via MOODLE platform and gives max of 30 marks. It includes 10 multiple choice questions (MCQ), 2 marks for each question and 2 open questions (OQ), 5 marks for each question. Each question (MCQ and OQ) has a specific score indicated at the top line. The final grade is the sum of the scores of every single question (MCQ + OQ). The maximum score is 30. The exam lasts 50 minutes and is done using MOODLE platform and SEB (secure exam browser). Please be ready to use a LAPTOP with 1 hour of battery. A mobile phone with ZOOM installed is required. If available the exam is done in an IT lab room.
In addition (but it is not compulsory) students can deliver an essay (PW1) on MOODLE (see there for more instructions) that gives students 2 more marks.
Alternatively, individually or in groups of max 3 persons, students can deliver PW2, which is a COST ANALYSIS done in a real company (chosen autonomously or from a few cases indicated by the teacher). PW2 gives 3 marks plus 4 marks to MCQ and 5 marks to OQ. PW2 is very challenging and gives the students the possibility to prove its attitudes to practical activities. As it involves external subjects it can be chosen only by students that: 1. attend the lectures, 2. have adequate time and energies, 3. have received approval by the teacher.
After passing the written examination the student MAY ask for an additional oral examination to modify (max +/- 3 marks) the previous score.
Online registration is required at least 3 days before the examination date.
The exam is in English.

The call for applications will be published around September 2021 or later in the University web page on double degrees. The choice of students to be admitted is made during the first semester of the first year, through a multi-stage process:
- a selection of students based on the results achieved in their bachelor degree, on their CV and on a motivational interview. Following this selection, the ranking of students "admitted under condition" will be published;
- an ongoing confirmation of the above ranking, based on the academic achievement of the students in the first part of their studies at the University of Verona. Specifically, are confirmed the students "admitted under condition" which - at the end of the first semester of the first year - have achieved a weighted average score greater than or equal to 24 and a number of credits not lower than the average of the cohort of students enrolled in the first year are taken into consideration).
The ranking of selected and confirmed students will be unique and the choice of destination - Bamberg or Bordeaux - will be made starting with the first classified student, then the second and so on.
Finally, the students selected and confirmed will participate in the call to obtain the Erasmus scholarships reserved for the assigned location.
