Learning assessment procedures

The exclusively written test lasting four hours includes 5 open questions, drawn at each exam session, relating to the points of the program. Within the program, the student must choose three in-depth topics to be covered in the form of an itinerary or planning of a tourist offer. These topics will be agreed upon in advance with the teacher, preferably during the lessons. They are to be addressed in the written test and constitute an extension of what was covered in class; they will be based on bibliographic research or on websites to be agreed upon with the teacher. For their organizational convenience, students, instead of taking the exam in a single exam session, can divide it into multiple exam sessions (three in total, other subdivisions must be agreed upon in advance), regularly registering for each of them. In this case, the final grade will be the average of the grade obtained in the partial tests. Those who opt for the exam subdivision must respect the sequence of topics as formulated in the course program.

Evaluation criteria

The ability to acquire the preparatory notions, to formulate an autonomous discourse on problems and themes covered in the question and on design aspects based on the examples covered during the course will be assessed.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final exam can be divided into several modules, each of which will be assigned a partial grade. The average of the partial grades assigned to each exam will result in the final grade recorded in the student's transcript.
