Examination Methods
The exam consists of two written tests aimed to verify the degree of learning of the knowledges and skills which are the goal of the course. One test (mainly aimed to verify the student skills) will consist of exercises which have to be taken with the aid of a computer connected to the university network. The other test (mainly aimed to verify the student knowledges) will consist of questions with free-text answers and multiple choice questions. Each exercise /question of both tests will be associated with a score (reported in the text of the exam). The maximum score achievable for each test is 16 points. In order to pass the course the student must obtain a minimum score of 9 points in each test.
The final grade corresponds to the sum of the scores obtained in the two tests up to a maximum of 30. In order to obtain the grade of excellence (30 cum laude) the student should provide correct and comprehensive answers for all the questions of the two tests (the sum of the scores obtained for the two tests should be 32 points).
