Exam Rules

The method of assessment is based on Written Exam (40%) + Oral Exam (40%) + Project Work (20%)

The exam, the related trials and the evaluation model will be the same for attending and non-attending students;

If the written exam is passed with at least 18, students may refuse the score and come back to the next exam date (Please, come if you are well prepared!). The score obtained to the next exam date eliminate the previous one. If the score of the written exam is lower than 15 students cannot come in the next exam date;

For the Project Work (30% of the final mark) attending and non-attending students must present a word file and:

Attending and non-attending students can discuss their Project Work during the course (see the analytical syllabus). Presenters are exempt from the oral exam on the PW. In order to be exempt from the oral exam on the PW students need to present their PW in one of the scheduled dates;
Non-attending students and attending students who decide not to discuss the PW on the scheduled dates, have two possibilities:
they can discuss the PW on the exam date they choose for the examination. It is strongly recommended that the PW is presented, using a PPT presentation, on the same day by all members of the group. If it is not possible (e.g. because some group members are still in Erasmus) every student will be examined separately;
attending and non-attending students can also record the video of the PW discussion, uploading-it on YouTube (click here for an example).

Mid-term: Attending and non-attending students can do the mid-term after 6 weeks. However, it will be focused on the topics discussed during the course until that moment.

18-20: just sufficient knowledge and understanding of the topics with possible generalizations and imperfections; sufficient capacity for analysis, synthesis and autonomy of judgment, the topics are frequently exposed in an inconsistent way and with inappropriate / technical language;
