Type of Assessment - Last names A-E
The examination method and the tests will be the same for attending and non-attending students.
The exam will be based on a written test, including a maximum of 5 open-ended questions, and a possible oral exam for those who will successfully pass the written exam.
The written last will last at maximum 90 minutes.
The oral exam, which can only be accessed after successfully passing the written test, consists of an interview. To supplement the written test, it can be requested either by the student or by the instructor via convocation for the student for the oral exam. In the latter case, if the student does not show up, her exam will be registered as withdrawn.
The learning evaluation will take place following these criteria.
a) Completeness in the discussion of the topic (It means the completeness in the articulation of the answer with respect to the contents of the question).
b) Language (This refers to the ability to express concepts using an appropriate and technical language, or using the correct terminology and meaning instead of generic statements).
c) Critical re-elaboration of the information presented in the HANDBOOK (It means the ability to explain concepts without repeating the contents of the materials in a slavish way, but giving proof of having understood the topic).
