In order to take the exam, 2 mutually exclusive methods are possible:
MODE A) (intermediate tests during the course, for "attending" students)
During the course, continuous evaluation is foreseen through in-person activities carried out in the classroom, in the laboratory and remotely on the platforms made available by the University, with the obtaining of the relevant 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 APPEAL DATES).
MODE B) (written and oral exam, for "non-attending" students)
Written tests (1 online test on knowledge and 1 practical test on skills), followed by oral exam to be carried out EXCLUSIVELY ON THE OFFICIAL APPEAL DATES. Registration is mandatory electronically via the online exam booking service established by the University.
The skills assessment method will be diversified based on frequency.
