Assessment methods

oral tests (2 questions). Students who will have attended at least 6 lessons will have benefits.

IN ANY CASE: on the day of the exam, all students who want to take the exam must be in the room at the time indicated on almaesami. Students who do not respond to the register call or who do not delegate someone to answer on their behalf will be removed from that day's list. For students enrolled in the list who do NOT want to take the exam, it will be sufficient NOT to show up on the day of the exam (in other words, unregistration from the list of almaesami is good practice but NOT mandatory).

 

Students with learning disorders and/or temprary or permanent disabilities: please contact the office responsible (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students) as soon as possible so that they can propose acceptable adjustments. The request for adaptation must be submitted in advance (15 days before the exam date) to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of the adjustments, taking into account the teaching objectives.
