Written examination ed oral exam. The student's assessment involves a written examination consisting of 31 multiple-choice questions on the entire syllabus, only one of which is correct, to be taken on the Moodle platform within 30 minutes. The examination is considered passed when there are more than 17 correct answers. 31 correct answers allow a mark of 30 with distinction. The paper is corrected instantly and the grade is visible immediately. The marking grid adopted is as follows: - Excellent (30 - 30 with distinction): excellent knowledge of the topics, excellent analytical ability; the student is able to apply theoretical knowledge brilliantly to concrete cases. - Very good (27 - 29): good knowledge of the subject matter, good analytical ability; the student is able to apply theoretical knowledge correctly to concrete cases. theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Good (24-26): good knowledge of the main topics, the student shows an adequate ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Satisfactory (21-23): the student does not show full mastery of the main topics of the course, although possessing the fundamental knowledge; however, he/she shows sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases. - Sufficient (18-20): minimal knowledge of the main topics of the course, limited ability to apply theoretical knowledge adequately to concrete cases. - Insufficient: The student does not possess acceptable knowledge of the content of the various topics in the syllabus. The examination mark is expressed in thirtieth and derives from the weighted result of the three tests listed, which must be passed each with at least 18/30. To obtain 30/30 cum laude the student must have passed the exam with 30/30 and have demonstrated particular interests and theoretical and/or practical skills relevant to the subject.

To obtain 30/30 cum laude the student must have passed the exam with 30/30 and have demonstrated particular interests and theoretical and/or practical skills relevant to the subject. After the performance of partial tests, the results of which will be published using the IT tool «Partial tests» provided by the Esse3 platform, there shall be a single final appeal in which the Commission shall verify the overall results of the integrated teaching and record-keeping. In the case of partial tests, the student, in order to pass the exam related to the teaching, must obtain an assessment 18 in each of the partial tests, will not be able to refuse the outcome of the partial test, but only the grade of the entire integrated Course and, in this case, it shall repeat all the partial tests.
