Assessment of competences will be carried out through an individual written exam, aimed at verifying the achievement of the expected learning outcomes defined according to the Dublin Descriptors. The test will consist of 31 multiple-choice questions. Each correct answer will be awarded 1 point, while no points (0) will be given for unanswered or incorrect responses. The final grade will be expressed out of thirty, based on the total number of points obtained. Honours (“cum laude”) may be awarded in the case of a full score of 31 points. The test will be administered via the Moodle platform and will take place in one of the University’s computer rooms. For this reason, candidates may be divided into several groups based on the number of participants and the availability of computer workstations.
