Assessment methods

The final examination involves a written test and an oral part. Both parts in the same day. To sign up you should use the system AlmaEsami. For a schedule of examinations, please refer always to AlmaEsami. In the written test, the student has to solve some exercises and to illustrate some topics of "theory", to demonstrate that he has acquired and know how to use the tools provided during the course. Overcoming the written test allows to the oral examination, which consists of a discussion on the written test and in questions that tend to establish the theoretical knowledge of the course contents, the acquisition of the methodological rigor and the ability to reason about topics related to the course. The oral examination aims in particular to verify the achievement of the expected knowledge and skills, that is of the fundamentals of the infinitesimal and integral calculus, of the habit to scientific reasoning and of sensitivity to analysis of mathematical models, especially through the study of the asymptotic expansion of functions. Both the written and oral test have the additional purpose of verifying the learning of the general methods of mathematical analysis and the acquisition of critical judgment in relation to the solution of mathematical problems. The final score, out of thirty, takes into account both tests.
