Lessons start in October (first semester)
The exam takes place in a test mode with multiple choice questions. An average of 64 questions (8 for each module) are administered, each of which with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 answers, of which students must choose the best (most exact, most accurate, most complete, without imperfections). The overall mark is given by the sum of the correct answers, adjusted in thirtieths. Penalties do not apply for wrong answers or for fields not filled in. The exam is passed only if the result mark is equal to or greater than 18 and if at least 3 answers are correct for each discipline. Candidates have 60 minutes to complete the paper.
During the exam, the rules regarding the assessment method of DSA certified students or students with other educational needs indicated by the university will be respected. In the specific case, additional time will be given.
The methods of ascertaining the candidate's preparation with tests consisting of multiple choice questions has several reasons: - the integrated course consists of 8 different modules managed by different teachers and with different themes and only partially superimposable. The need arises to ascertain the candidate's preparation for each of the modules and on different topics covered in the module. The most effective assessment method in this sense is the test with multiple choice questions. - the test with multiple choice questions represents an objective, equanimous evaluation tool for students and free from problems related to stress or anxiety of the candidate that can occur in the oral test. - the numerous commitments of the teaching staff make it difficult to set up an exam commission in which everyone is constantly present. The test with multiple choice questions allows you to explore the candidate's preparation on all modules even in the absence of the reference teacher. In order to pass the exam, the candidate must correctly answer at least 3 questions of each module and obtain a mark out of thirty out of 18.
