EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of an oral test and is held in the presence of the Course teachers. The interview focuses on the program covered during the lectures. Through the discussion of various topics, the Commission verifies the achievement of the educational objectives set by the teaching. All disciplines contribute to the evaluation based on the training credits assigned to them.

At the end of the interview, the Commission teachers formulate a final grade that derives from the overall judgment of the candidate.

In case of emergency, when possible and according to the university indications, the activities will be carried out online.

The exam will be approved if the tests of all the individual disciplines pertaining to the C.I. are passed. The basic elements of the subject must be known for the exam to be considered sufficient.

During the exam, the rules regarding the evaluation method of students certified as DSA or 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)
