Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
Course attendance is mandatory. 70 percent of the lectures is the
minimum attendance rate to be granted the access to the 90 minutes
final class test (encompassing both Introduction to Finance
and Financial Markets) that will take place after the class
ending, within the official exam sessions. It will include 8
multiple choice questions (8 points), 1 open question (8 points)
and 2 exercises (14 points, i.e. 7 points each). Moreover, students
will be asked to present and critically discuss a topic in finance
(team work) in the last scheduled meeting (about 15-20 minutes for
each presentation, depending on the number of students). This will
provide the participants with a maximum of 4 points (to be added to
the final written exam mark). Please note that these additional
extra-points will be only valid in the official exam session right
after the course ending, unless the candidate asks not to proceed
sending an email to the instructor before the registration
date.
All positive grades will be automatically registered within 1 week
from grading (registration date), unless the candidate asks not to
proceed sending an email to the instructor before the registration
date.
