- Assessment
The assessment takes place as follows:
- an intermediate oral test to be passed after the second half of the course, on a date agreed with the students;
- a final oral exam, more suitable for assessing the student's preparation, their ability to recognize the works and their use of a proper wording
The evaluation is based on the following criteria:
1) Attendance, punctuality and participation in lessons 30%
2) Intermediate test 20% (less than half correct answers = below 18; more than half of correct answers = 18-24; more than two thirds of correct answers = 24-30)
3) Final oral exam (under 18 = insufficient; between 18 and 23 = sufficient; between 24-27 = good; 28-30 = excellent). This last test is decisive and can round up or down the vote, and confer honors as well
