Assessment methods

Assessment methods are detailed in the Seminars Regulation and are valid both for the Seminari a ciclo chiuso and the Seminari liberi.

For both options assessment methods consist both of verifying attendance at at least twenty hours of Seminars (through the signature collection form) and of evaluating four written papers produced by the student.
