PSISOC26 - PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY

The exam is written and consists of a test with a series of questions (22), of which 2 are open and 20 are closed. Open questions require writing in the available space (about 10 lines). Closed questions have five different response options, of which only one is correct. No points are deducted for incorrect answers. The test assigns a maximum of 31 points (11 points overall for open questions; 20 points overall for closed questions). For non-attending students, the questions refer exclusively to the textbook. For attending students, the questions are based on the slides and the assigned readings, which will be available on the e-learning platform at the beginning of the semester. Additionally, for attending students who will carry out a group work proposed by the lecturer which includes a presentation to be given in the classroom, the final exam will be proportionally reduced (19 multiple choice questions and 1 open question) to accommodate the 6 points acquired with the group work. The evaluation of open questions is done in light of the following criteria: - relevance of the answer provided; - completeness of the answer; - clarity of the answer. If one or more of the criteria mentioned is not met, the score assigned to the answer is scaled down to the minimum assignable (zero).
A pass mark is achieved if 18 points are obtained by adding together the points obtained in the open questions and the closed questions. As a guideline, a mark in the low score range (up to 23/30) means that the student has acquired adequate knowledge in most of the topics in the program, but there are deficiencies in several of the open questions (answers that are not always relevant, incomplete and/or unclear) or there is a significant number of errors in the closed questions. A mark in the intermediate range (24-26/30) means that the student has acquired more than adequate knowledge in most of the topics in the program, as evidenced for example by answers to the open questions that are generally relevant, complete and clear and by a limited number of errors in the closed questions. A mark in the high range (27-30/30) means that the student has acquired good or excellent knowledge in all of the topics in the program, as evidenced for example by answers to the open questions that are satisfactory in terms of relevance, completeness and clarity and by few errors in the closed questions. The ‘lode’ is awarded in the case of a test without errors. The time available for the exam is 45 minutes.
Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders are invited to contact the teacher at least seven days before the test if they wish to evaluate the possibility of an adaptation of the exam format (e.g. oral exam).
