The evaluation of the student is carried out by means of partial tests (written and/or oral test, possible tests in progress in which questions concerning the course program are proposed), for each teaching part. Then the commission verifies the overall results of the integrated teaching.
The student must demonstrate that he has achieved the learning objectives of the course.
The exam score is attributed by means of a vote expressed out of thirty with possible honors if the weighted average is higher than 30.5.
In order to pass the examination for the integrated course, the student must obtain a mark of ≥ 18 in each of the partial examinations. The final mark for the integrated course examination is derived from the weighted average, thus weighted on the University Credits of each module, obtained in the partial tests.

In order to obtain the certificate for specific training in occupational health and safety (Legislative Decree 81/2008), at least 70% of the questions must be answered correctly.
