The end-of-course exam aims to evaluate the achievement of the didactic objectives of the I.C. The exams take place at the Institute of Santa Caterina, 2nd floor starting at 9 am on the dates indicated in the calendar. Verification is oral, conducted collegially by the teachers of each course. The grade is assigned as the weighted average, weighted on the credits, of the assessments on the individual courses. In the event of the impossibility of one of the teachers, the examination for the corresponding discipline takes place by means of multiple choice quizzes, immediately corrected by the rest of the Commission in order to assign the final grade. The teachers verify the achievement of the educational objectives by asking diversified questions relating to the programs actually carried out during the lesson hours. When the educational objectives have not been achieved in all disciplines, the student is invited to better verify her knowledge and to take the exam again in its entirety. There are no student reception hours, but the learner can contact the teachers by email in order to make an appointment for further explanations or other problems.
