Examination Methods
------------------------
MM: Teoria
------------------------
The exam consists in an oral colloquium both for attending and not-attending students. In order to be admitted to the colloquium each student must deliver – at least one week before the trial - a written work on the methods and results obtained during laboratory experiments. The exam is aimed at evaluating the student's knowledge of the whole program of the course paying attention to the depth of acquired knowledge and the ability to systematically connect topics. The mark will be expressed in 30-point scale.
