Assessment methods

The final exam is an oral exam in which the student will be asked to discuss two topics from the program (one will be a student's choice). During the interview, questions will verify the degree of in-depth knowledge of the proposed topics, and the critical ability to connect different knowledges covered in class will be evaluated.

The achievement by the student of a complete knowledge of the course contents, along with the use of the specific technical language, are assessed with marks of excellence. The mnemonic knowledge of the topics, with limited synthesis and analysis capabilities leads to discrete evaluations. Learning gaps and / or inappropriate language justify negative assessments or low marks.
