oral examination
The final exam is an oral exam in which the student will be asked to discuss a topic taken from the program. During the interview, questions have to verify the degree of in-depth knowledge of the proposed topic and the other topics of the program, the critical ability to connect different knowledge to each other and the achievement of an organic understanding of the topics covered in class.
The exam will be considered passed if the student demonstrates sufficient knowledge in each topic.
The achievement of an organic vision of the topics addressed in class, combined with their critical
contextualization, the demonstration of possession of an expressive command and specific language will be evaluated with marks of excellence. The final mark of the Integrated Course, of which this teaching is part, is the result of the arithmetic mean among individual modules.
Final grade grading:
Preparation on a very limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to analyze emerging only with the help of the lecturer, expression in overall correct language → 18-19;
Preparation on a limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to make independent analysis only on purely executive issues, expression in correct language → 20-24;
Preparation on a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent choices of critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;
Substantially comprehensive preparation on topics covered in the course, ability to make independent choices of critical analysis and linking, full mastery of specific terminology and ability to argue and self-reflect → 30-30L.
Any topic covered in class may be subject to examination.
Aids will be possible only in specific cases stipulated by current regulations.
