Examination Methods
In the "moodle section" relative to the course, from lesson to lesson, it will be possible to find the slides of the course to integrate the exam text.
NB: Following the health emergency due to Covid-19, the usual examination procedures are changed for the 2020 summer session, in accordance with the indications of the University. Specifically: "the exam will be held orally using Zoom".
The exam taken during an official call will consist of a 30-minute multiple choice question (30) (3 answers alternatives, only one of which is correct.) For the final judgment expressed in thirtieths, a correct answer has value equal to 1 point, an incorrect answer has a value equal to 0 points, an answer not given has a value equal to 0 points).
