Oral examination
The exam consists in an oral test. The oral examination is always conducted by two teachers and lasts for at least 30 minutes. In this way, the Commission is able to verify the achievement of the objectives of teaching by asking questions about the program of the course. When goals are not achieved, the student is invited to deepen his knowledge and to ask further explanation to the teacher.
Class attendance is recommended.
