EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written/oral test.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD) are reminded that, in order to request accommodations for exams, they must first upload their certification to the University website at servizionline.unige.it in the "Studenti" section.
The documentation will be verified by the University’s Office for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and SLD: https://rubrica.unige.it/strutture/struttura/100111.

Subsequently, students must send an email to the instructor responsible for the exam at least 10 days in advance of the exam date, copying both the School's Inclusion Contact Person for students with disabilities and SLD, and the above-mentioned Office.
The email must include the following information:

- the name of the teaching module

- the exam date

- the student's full name and student ID number

- the compensatory tools and dispensatory measures considered necessary and requested

The Inclusion Contact Person will confirm to the instructor that the student is entitled to request accommodations and that such accommodations must be discussed and agreed upon with the instructor. The instructor will then confirm whether the requested accommodations can be granted.

Requests must be submitted at least 10 days before the exam date, to allow the instructor sufficient time to evaluate them. In particular, if the use of concept maps is requested for the exam (which must be significantly more concise than those used during study), failure to meet the deadline may result in insufficient time to make any necessary revisions.

For further information on requesting services and accommodations, please refer to the document:
Guidelines for requesting services, compensatory tools and/or dispensatory measures, and specific aids.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Know-how and ability to apply methodologies and technologies developed during the course.
