The assessment is aimed at ascertaining the achievement of the expected learning outcomes defined with the Dublin descriptors. The assessment takes place through an oral exam, carried out in a joint session, on the entire program of the integrated course of General Nursing 2, which includes the modules of Semeiotics, Nursing Procedures 1 and 2 and Clinical Methodology. Depending on the number of students enrolled in the same session, the exams can be scheduled over several days.
The oral test takes place through an interview with the teachers, lasting on average approximately 30 minutes, with the aim of verifying the level of knowledge of the program topics, the level of mastery of specialist language and the ability to develop reasoning applying theoretical knowledge. The criteria adopted for evaluating the oral exam are the following:
Insufficient: Little or no knowledge and understanding of the topics; limited capacity for analysis and synthesis, frequent generalizations of the required contents; inability to use technical language.
18-20: Just enough knowledge and understanding of topics, with obvious imperfections; just sufficient capacity for analysis, synthesis and independent judgement; poor ability to use technical language.
21-23: Sufficient knowledge and understanding of topics; sufficient capacity for analysis and synthesis with the ability to logically and coherently argue the required contents; sufficient ability to use technical language.
24-26: Fair knowledge and understanding of the topics; fair capacity for analysis and synthesis with the ability to rigorously argue the required contents; fair ability to use technical language.
27-29: Good knowledge and understanding of required content; good capacity for analysis and synthesis with the ability to rigorously argue the required contents; good ability to use technical language.
30-30 and “lode”: Excellent level of knowledge and understanding of the requested contents with an excellent capacity for analysis and synthesis with the ability to argue the requested contents in a rigorous, innovative and original way; excellent ability to use technical language.
