Teaching methods

Lessons in room. complimentary lecture notes will be available on AMS Campus.

Assessment methods

The grading is determined with a written exam. The duration time is 2 h and 30 minutes.

In the test there are both exercises and theoretical questions.

The only way to be admitted to the exam is to enroll their own name to the published lists on AlmaEsami web site.

The final grade is obtained simply converting the result obtained in the written exam.

After the results will be published on AlmaEsami they will be recorded in a week.

The student that, after the written exam, will have obtained 25 or more may ask to face an oral session. In any case the obtained result can not be modified more than two points (positively or negatively).

A grade with "lode" is possible only for the students that, having realized  29 or 30  after the written exam, ask for an oral session.
