Learning verification modality
The oral exam consists in a discussion lasting about 20-25 minutes to verify whether and to what extent the student has assimilated the concepts included in the program of the course. The oral exam is reserved to Erasmus students, that need a pre-authorization of the teacher.
The written exam includes the answer to 4 open-ended questions and lasts one hour.
The written exam is intended as a replacement of the oral test. In both cases, the exam has the aim to ensure the acquisition of the required knowledge and to assess the degree to which the student is able to process them. Particular attention is paid to the language capability and to the exposure ability.

During the examination, both orally or writing, the student will also be asked to contextualize the knowledge provided and to demonstrate through concrete examples the acquisition of required skills.

If necessary, due the Covid-19 pandemic, exams could be held via Microsoft Teams.
