Further in-depth material will be made available by the teacher on the virtual platform.unibo.it

Assessment methods

Students can choose whether to follow the course in two ways:

Attending Students
Not attending students

For "non-attending" students, the exam will consist of a multiple-choice test with 15 questions (+1 question for honors) and only one correct answer per question. Furthermore, students will have to take an oral test confirming the written mark.

For "attending" students, the final mark will be given by:

– A team assignment (50% of the final mark) on a project presented in class by the instructor on the first day of the course.

– The final test (50% of the final mark) will be divided into two intermediate tests (end of October-beginning of November and January) and the final mark of the exam will be given by the average of the two tests.
– Students can take a final oral exam to improve the grade.

The evaluation of the final test will take place as follows: Each question will be evaluated with two points in case of correct answer.

30 cum laude: 15 correct answers with also the correct answer to the question inserted for honours.

30/30: 15 correct questions

18/30: 9 correct questions

<18 and then "fail": less than 9 correct questions
