Assessment Methods

The exam will consist of a written and an oral test.
The written test will consist of 12 multi-choice questions, 3 essay questions to be answered within a maximum number of words, and a written essay in which the student will be asked to analyze specific aspects of a topic. The total score for the written test is 33 marks. The test paper will explain how the marks are distributed, based on the relevance/complexity of each question.
The final mark of the written test will be given by the sum of the partial scores obtained.
The written test will last 60 minutes.
The oral test will consist of 3/5 questions aimed at verifying the knowledge of the material referred to, the communicative skills, the judgement autonomy and the comprehension skills. Particular attention will be given to the language used, at the capacity to establish links between different topics, and at the ability to critically interact on topics proposed by the examiner.
The oral test will be judged with a score on 30.
The final result will be given by the average of the marks obtained with written and oral test.
For students that will have participated in group works, the exam will include also the discussion of the work done. The score obtained in this discussion will be considered in the definition of the final marks.
