The exam is aimed to verify the degree of learning of the student on the course topics. The exam consists of written test with multiple choice questions. Each question will be associated with a score (reported in the text of the exam) The maximum score achievable is 32 points. To pass the course the student must obtain a minimum score of 18 points. The final grade corresponds to the sum of the scores obtained for each question up to a maximum of 30. In order to obtain the grade of excellence (30 cum laude) the student must have answered correctly and comprehensively all the questions proposed (32 points) . The test will be delivered in presence mode. The remote mode is however guaranteed for all students who request it in the academic year 2020/21.
