EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam is constituted by an oral test.

Basically, it consists of two parts:

- the first: the exposition of the topics illustrated during the lessons

- the second: the presentation and subsequent discussion of the results acquired on a chosen topic, that is considered as an integral part of the oral test.

There will be 3 exam sessions for the winter session (mid-January-February-March) and 3 exam sessions for the summer session (June, July and September).

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The assessment will be carried out through an oral test, in which the overall subject knowledge and the group work carried out during the course will be evaluated.

The oral exam will mainly focus on the topics dealt with in the lectures and will have the purpose of evaluating not only if the student has reached an adequate level of knowledge, but if he has acquired the ability to critically analyze territorial problems.
