ESAMI

MODALITA' D'ESAME

THE   EXAMINATION  IS  divided into 2 parts : a WRITTEN  TEST   and  an ORAL  TEST.

The  questions  and  answers   are  related  to  the  FULL PROGRAMME  of  the  Course. .

During  the  Academic  year  3  periods  are allocated  for  EXAMINATIONS: 

NR  3  SESSIONS  IN SUMMER : June, July  and  September; 

NR  2  SESSIONS  IN  WINTER: January and February.

Additional  SESSIONS  can be  organized  in order  to meet the students’ individual needs,  mainly  due to long-distance travel.  

THE   EXAMS  ARE STRUCTURED AS FOLLOWS:

WRITTEN   TEST  :

1.  Each Student  has  to ANSWER  TO Nr. .6   QUESTIONS  CHOSEN  FROM A  LIST  OF  116  PUBLISHED on the STUDENTS’ BOARD (BACHECA) FOR  ALL STUDENTS IN A SPECIFIC  DOCUMENT  COVERING  THE FULL COURSE.

The  ANSWERS   must  be  SUCCINCT  ( MAX  500 WORDS )  and provide evidence of a basic  knowledge  of  the  subject & topic in question.  NO  use  of  any  document  is  allowed .

1. Each Student  can  chose  nr. 5 QUESTIONS in advance and  will produce a WRITTEN DOCUMENT  before  the  EXAM  TO prove  their  capacity  to  prepare  a  logical, comprehensive but  succinct  Document  to EXPLAIN each topic ;  max  500  words  for each  answer.  This  work  evidences  the  capacity  to carry out  research   and  build  up  an effective argument to explain  their  Knowledge.

BOTH  documents   must  be  READY  AT THE  END  OF  NR 2  HOURS   ALLOCATED  FOR  THE  WRITTEN  EXAM.

NORMALLY  THE  WRITTE  EXAM  TAKES  PLACE  FROM  10.00  A.M.   AND  HAS  A  DURATION  OF 2  HOURS.

Each  Student  has  to  have  paper  sheets  with  their  NAME  AND  MATRICOLA  CODE  REFERENCE . The  only  support  allowed  is  a  calculator.

1.   ORAL  TEST.

THE  ORAL  TEST  WILL  BE  UNDERTAKEN  ONLY  IF  THE RESULTS IN THE  WRITTEN  TEST  ARE AT OR ABOVE THE   MINIMUM  REQUIREMENTS.

THE  ORAL  TEST  IS  A  DETAILED  EXAMINATION  OF  THE WORK  DONE  in order  to  EVALUATE  the  POSITIVE  AND  NEGATIVE  ELEMENTS of a topic and come to A  COMPLETE  EXPLANATION  OF  THE  MATTER.

When  necessary  additional  QUESTIONS  can  be  asked and considered. 

At  the  END  of  the  FULL EXAM each  Student  is  invited  to  reflect  and  then  PROVIDE  A  PERSONAL  EVALUATION  ON  HIS  PERFORMANCE  DURING  THAT  EXAM: given that   being  a  Manager  means  having TO EVALUATE  PERFORMANCE,  THIS IS  THE FINAL EXERCISE  to APPLY  the  method they learnt and use it to assess their own work.

The student’s own  EVALUATION IS then COMPARED  TO THE  PROFESSOR’s own assessment of their performance (which he wrote down before hearing the self-assessment) and discussed.  STATISTICALLY,  it is the case that  95% OF  EVALUATIONS  ARE  in agreement,  WITH  A  +/-  1  POINT  OF DISCREPANCY . The  remaining  5% of self-evaluations   are so different and wide of the mark  that  the  exam  is  NEGATIVE.

The  ORAL  TEST  IS  NORMALLY PERFORMED  IN  THE  AFTYERNOON OR  ASAP after the written test.

PROCESS  to take part in the  EXAMS

To  have  access  to  the  EXAM  each STUDENT  MUST  ADD  THEMSELVES  TO THE  LIST   3  DAYS  BEFORE THE  DAY OF THE EXAM  DAY: this  is  necessary  to PLAN  AND  ORGANIZE THE LOCATION OF THE EXAM ITSELF.

THE ORAL  EXAM  IS  AUTOMATICALLY SET UP  AFTER  THE  WRITTEN ONE.
