Assessment methods

During the final exam, the Student will be asked to briefly answer to the questions proposed to the students. The Student will answer to the questions. The assessment will consider the capacity of the Student to properly describe the topic, the clarity of the presentation, the language properties, the knowledge of the argument and the other strictly related with the subject.

It will be considered as excellent (grade 27-30) the answers given by students in an organic way, including a very detailed description of the argument of the questions, with a high level of scientific language and a complete and detailed work.

It will be considered as discrete (grade 23-26) the answers given by the students in a discrete manner, which includes a simplified answer to the questions, without excellence, with a medium level of scientific language.

It will be considered as sufficient (grade 18-22) the answers given by students in a sufficient way, including a limited description of the topics, including a minimum level of scientific language.

It will be considered as not sufficient the answers which include several errors and unclear comprehension of the topics of the course.
