The qualification obtained in the intermediate test will remain valid for one calendar year. If the student does not take or does not pass the intermediate test, the final exam will take place in written form and will cover the entire program. For Erasmus students or students belonging to particular groups, the exam program does not change. ASSESSMENT METHODS In the correction of open-ended questions, the candidate's learning is assessed not only with regard to the memorization of specific notions, but also to the organization of thought and the articulation of the answer. In particular, the assessment focuses on: the completeness of the topics covered, the overall construction of the answer, the order in the sequence of concepts, any links established between different topics covered during the course, the effective understanding of the substance of what is presented, the candidate's critical capacity, and, where possible depending on the topic, the ability to place the answers within the general principles of law. Each learning outcome is assessed through open-ended questions that require students to describe, apply, evaluate and communicate the fundamental concepts of public law, also in relation to concrete cases.
