Learning assessment procedures

The purpose of the exam is to evaluate the learning of the basic legal notions of the discipline, their ability to use an appropriate technical-legal language, to connect the different legal institutions as well as to understand their rationale. The exam takes place in the manner described below. A) For students who intend to take advantage of the option of taking the "partial vote" intermediate test, the exam consists of two tests. The first test (intermediate "partial vote" test), concerning the topics covered in the first part of the course (the sources; the interpretation of tax laws; VAT) consists of: - a closed-ended test and multiple (30% of the evaluation), evaluated out of thirty, is made up of 12 questions: one point is assigned for each correct answer; ¼ of a point is subtracted for each error; for each answer not given no point is awarded. This test lasts 20 minutes. To achieve the sufficiency (18/30) it is necessary to score a minimum score of 7/12 - number 2 open questions (70% of the evaluation) aimed at evaluating the ability to connect between the themes. This test lasts 20 minutes. To achieve the sufficiency (18/30) it is necessary to answer at least one question out of two. The first test, lasting a total of 40 minutes, is passed if at least the pass is achieved both in the closed-ended test and in the open questions. The grade of the mid-term exam remains valid only for the first exam session (two sessions) following attendance. The test is open to all attending and non-attending students. Without prejudice to the possibility for the student to take the oral test in order to improve the overall grade and the faculty for the teacher to arrange the oral test in order to refine the assessment. The second test, concerning the topics covered in the second part of the course (the rights and duties of the taxpayer: the declaration and payment obligations; the right and duty to operate withholding taxes and tax substitution; IRPEF AND SUBJECTS LIABILITIES IRES) consists of: - a closed and multiple choice test (30% of the evaluation), evaluated out of thirty, is made up of 12 questions: one point is awarded for each correct answer; ¼ of a point is subtracted for each error; for each answer not given no point is awarded. This test lasts 20 minutes. To achieve the sufficiency (18/30) it is necessary to score a minimum score of 7/12 - number 2 open questions (70% of the evaluation) aimed at evaluating the ability to connect between the themes. This test lasts 20 minutes. To achieve the sufficiency (18/30) it is necessary to answer at least one question out of two. The second test, lasting a total of 40 minutes, is passed if the pass is achieved both in the closed-ended test and in the open questions. B) Students who decide not to take the intermediate test, Students who do not pass the intermediate test or refuse the grade of the intermediate test must take the exam according to the following modality: - a closed and multiple choice test (30% of the evaluation ), evaluated out of thirty, is made up of 30 questions: one point is awarded for each correct answer; ¼ of a point is subtracted for each error; for each answer not given no point is awarded. This test lasts 45 minutes. To achieve the sufficiency (18/30) it is necessary to score a minimum score of 18/30 - n. 3 open questions (70% of the evaluation) aimed at evaluating the ability to link the themes.
