Examination Methods
The exam consists in a written exam, plus a mandatory oral exam if the result of the written exam is between 15 and 19. If the result of the written exam is greater or equal than 20, the oral exam is optional for the student. If the result of the written exam is less than 15, the exam is failed.
An intermediate exam will be taken in the middle of the course and graded. The intermediate exam is consideres successful with a grade equal or grater than 15. In this case, the student is entitled to pass only the second part of the exam in the first two sessions after the end of the course. It is not possible to take the second part in a different session. If the global result is not sufficient, it is not possible to re-take the second part. In the case in which the student does not want to use the intermediate exam after this is graded, he should communicate this to the Professor.
