EXAM DESCRIPTION

The assessment of learning takes place through an oral exam.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Each students will be examined about one chapter of the program, with questions apt to evaluate his/her knowledge and his/her ability to connect different subject of the program.

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. (e.g.: additional time in the case of written exams, use of concept maps to be viewed for approval by the teachers at least one week before the exam date).

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students with documented Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), or with any special needs, shall reach out to the Lecturer(s) and to the dedicated SLD Representative in the Department before class begins, in order to arrange the specific teaching methods and ensure proper achievement of the learning aims and outcomes.
