Learning assessment procedures
Learning assessment procedures consist of a written test and an oral test.
The oral exam is:
- optional if the mark in the written exam is greater than or equal to 20/30,
- compulsory if the mark in the written test is between 16/30 and 19/30
The written assessment is deemed not to have been passed if the grade obtained is less than 16/30.
A partial intermediate written test is foreseen, whose possible positive result (with a score higher than 15/30) allows the passing of a part of the exam, to be completed with a second written test to be taken in one of the two tests of the session exam immediately following the course. It is not allowed to complete the mid-term exam in an exam session following the first one. In case of insufficient overall result, it is not possible to complete the intermediate test a second time. The student who decides not to use the positive result of the partial written test is invited to communicate it to the teacher before registering for the exam.
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation will be carried out on the basis of the results of the tests taken, taking into account the demonstrated preparation and skills acquired.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark will be given by the average of the marks obtained in the tests taken.
