Evaluation criteria and final grade grading

18–19: knowledge limited to a very limited number of topics covered and serious difficulties in the practical part.

20–24: partial knowledge of a limited number of topics and slight difficulties in the practical part.

25–29: good preparation on a large portion of the topics covered and adequate operational skills in the practical part.

30–30 with honors: complete and in-depth knowledge of all the topics covered and excellent mastery of the practical part.

Students with learning disabilities or temporary/permanent disabilities are encouraged to contact the dedicated office (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/it/per-studenti) as soon as possible to agree upon appropriate compensatory measures.
