- Assessment
The assessment takes place as follows:
- an intermediate debate 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 debate 20% (insufficient exposition = below 18; good exposition = 18-24; excellent exposition and arguments = 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
- Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)
Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.
