EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of two compulsory parts: a written test followed by an oral test.

The written test consists in a multiple choice test (30 questions).  

Correct answers are scored with a value of 1, absent or ambiguous answers with a value of zero, incorrect answers with a negative value of -0,2. So, the total score is the sum of the right answers after subtracting 0,2 for each wrong answer.

The test must be completed within 60 minutes.

After the correction, the participants can view their test and comment it with the professor.

The minimum score to be admitted to the oral exam is 18/30.

If the score is LESS THAN 12, students are not permitted to repeat the failed test in the next date, if this falls within 20 days.

The oral exam is conducted by two professors of the academic staff; it covers the whole course content and it takes 30 minutes approximately, for an average student.

 

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam aims to assess:

 - the knowledge and comprehension of the discipline (test)

- the acquisition of a correct scientific language;

- general and specific problem-solving skills in chemistry.
