Assessment methods

The final examination consists of an oral test in which the student will be asked to discuss a topic from the program. As part of the interview, questions will also be asked to test the student's degree of in-depth knowledge of the proposed topic and other topics in the program, critical ability to connect different knowledge with each other, and achievement of an organic understanding of the topics covered in class.


The exam will be considered passed if the student has demonstrated sufficient knowledge in each topic.


The student's achievement of an organic understanding of the topics covered in class, combined with their critical use, the ability to make connections, and the demonstration of possession of a mastery of expression and specific language will be evaluated with grades of excellence. The final grade for the Integrated Course, of which this teaching is a part, is the result of the weighted average between the individual modules. Honors will be at the discretion of the committee.


Grading of final grade:

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 analyze independently 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 autonomous choices of critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;
Substantially comprehensive preparation on topics covered in the course, ability to make autonomous choices of critical analysis and linking, full mastery of specific terminology and ability to argue and self-reflect → 30-30L.
