Academic lessons aided by PPT slides with either passive and interactive interaction with the docent.
Candidates will be evaluated according to planned testing. Passing the final test will require a positive evaluation (≥ 18).
The final score is calculated taking into account the number of credits for each module. The “laude” will increase the test by 1 point. Average voting required for final “laude” score is >30,5.
Score scaling:
The test will allow to verify the overall knowledge on the topic.
The folloing parameters will be considered:
Score 29-30 e lode: the student has deep knowledge of the topic.
Score 26-28: the student has good knowledge of the topic.
Score 22-25: the student has acceptable knowledge of the topic.
Score 18-21: the student has minimal knowledge of the topic.
Not passed: the student has below minimal knowledge of the topic.
