Assessment

Assessment methods: Written test with 6 open questions. The duration of the test will be 60 minutes.

The written test is aimed at assessing the knowledge acquired, mastery of concepts also in the use of specific language and in the ability to reason and integrate.

The evaluation will focus on the knowledge, skills and abilities demonstrated by the student, taking into account in particular the following indicators:

1. relevance and effectiveness of the responses;

2. level of articulation of the answers: clarity, logic, systematicity, completeness;

3. use of the specific vocabulary of the discipline;

The final evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.

The evaluation criteria and the relative scores in thirtieths are determined according to the following scale:

Less than 18: Sufficient level of proficiency. The candidate does not achieve any of the learning outcomes foreseen under the heading "knowledge and understanding"

18-20: Sufficient level of competence. The candidate achieves the learning outcomes foreseen in the point "knowledge and understanding".

21-23: fully sufficient level of competence. The candidate achieves the expected learning outcomes in the points "knowledge and understanding" and "applied knowledge and understanding".

24-26: Good proficiency level. The candidate achieves the learning outcomes foreseen in the points "knowledge and understanding"; "Applied knowledge and understanding" and "Making judgements".

27-29: Very good level of proficiency. The candidate achieves the expected learning outcomes in the points "knowledge and understanding", "applied knowledge and understanding", "making judgements" and "communication skills".

30 and 30 laude: excellent level of competence. The candidate fully achieves the learning outcomes foreseen in the points "knowledge and understanding"; "applied knowledge and understanding"; "making judgements"; "communication skills" and "learning skills".

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.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.

Teaching

To allow non-attending students to compensate by self-studying what is done during the lectures, we recommend using all materials included in the blended platform (slides, tutorials, supplementary materials) that are particularly useful for fully understanding the program content.
