Criteria for the composition of the final grade

No points will be deducted for any incorrect or missing answers. The test consists of a number of questions proportionate to the consistency of the discipline in the integrated course, so that the final average of the exam represents a weighted average. In particular, there will be 5 questions for each credit. The exam will be passed if the following two criteria are met: - the overall average of the exam will be higher than 18/30 - the evaluation of the single disciplines of the integrated course will be higher than 15/30
