Assessment Methods

The assessment of learning involves an integrated evaluation, consisting of a written assignment and an oral examination. The written assignment is intended to assess the ability to analyze, synthesize, and independently elaborate on the content, as well as the appropriate use of subject-specific terminology. The oral examination, on the other hand, aims to evaluate the level of understanding, clarity of expression, and the ability to make connections and critically reflect on the topics covered. The overall grade is expressed on a scale of thirty.
Students with disabilities, Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), or other special educational needs may benefit from individualized examination arrangements, in accordance with current regulations and the provisions of the University Service Charter (https://www.unich.it/sites/default/files/2024-02/carta_dei_servizi_0.pdfhttps://www.unich.it/sites/default/files/2024-02/carta_dei_servizi_0.pdf), subject to prior agreement with the course instructor.
