Examination Methods

MM: PROPEDEUTICA CHINESIOLOGICA E SPORTIVA (LEZIONI)
------------------------
The objective of the final evaluation of the course is to ascertain the knowledge of the topics of the program and the ability to apply the knowledge to situations and examples different from those proposed in the course. The final evaluation of the learning outcomes includes:
1. Assessment of presence (70%) and measurement of the level of proficiency in practical activities. The mastery must be understood as an operational knowledge of the principles and rules of the different activities and ability to perform the main moving patterns according to own motor skills.
2. Written test, with multiple choice and open questions, related to the topics of the theoretical modules.
3. All assessments will contribute to the definition of the final evaluation through the weighted average of the votes expressed in thirtieths.
4. In the sessions of examinations subsequent to winter, the written tests will be replaced by an oral interview with the same objectives and arguments.

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