In order to take the exam, there are 2 ways, mutually exclusive to each other:
MODE A) (written and oral exam, for "attending" and "non-attending" students)
Written test (consisting of an online test on knowledge and a practical test on skills), followed by an oral test to be held EXCLUSIVELY ON THE OFFICIAL APPEAL DATES. Registration is compulsory electronically via the online exam booking service established by the University.
MODE B) (Intermediate quizzes and tests during the course, only for "attending" students)
During the course, continuous assessment is foreseen through face-to-face activities carried out in the classroom, in the laboratory and remotely on the platforms made available by the University, with the achievement of the relative scores which will allow access to the final individual assessment (scheduled at the end of the course, on a DATE NOT NECESSARILY COINCIDENT WITH THE OFFICIAL CALL DATES).
