Assessment methods

Registration for the exam must be completed exclusively through Alma Esami, within a single exam session for the Integrated Course.

The final assessment consists of an oral examination in which the student will mainly discuss a topic chosen from the syllabus. During the interview, additional questions will be asked to assess the student’s depth of understanding of the proposed topic and of other subjects covered in the course, their critical ability to connect different concepts, and their overall comprehension of the themes discussed in class.

The exam will be considered passed if the student demonstrates a satisfactory knowledge of all topics.

Students who achieve a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the subjects covered in class, demonstrate critical use of their knowledge, the ability to make connections among different topics, and show mastery of both content and specific terminology, will be awarded the highest grades.
The final mark for the Integrated Course is determined by the weighted arithmetic average of the individual components, based on their respective credits.

Grading scale:

• Knowledge of a very limited number of topics and analytical ability that emerges only with the lecturer’s guidance; overall correct language → 18–19

• Knowledge of a limited number of topics and autonomous analytical ability only on purely operational issues; correct language → 20–24

• Knowledge of a broad range of topics, ability to make autonomous critical analyses, and mastery of specific terminology → 25–29

• Comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered, ability to make autonomous critical and integrative analyses, full command of specific terminology, and strong argumentative and self-reflective skills → 30–30L

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