Written exam for the first two exam dates after the course (December, January and February). Oral exam thereafter. Depending on the number of students taking the course, students may be assessed on a class presentation in addition to the final written exam. In that case, the final grade will be the weighted average of the grades of the class presentation and of the written exam, with the class presentation weighting 1/3. Students will be able top choose between English and Italian for the final exam, irrespective of whether the latter is written or oral.
