ORAL EXAM: no differences for erasmus students (on the basis of an agreement with the teacher, students will have the possibility of discussing a written essay).
By way of example, the following criteria will be used to assess the final mark (that will be out of 30/30):
- sufficient or barely sufficient knowledge on the programme, limited reasoning ability, some difficulties in using socio-criminological language → 18-21/30;
- fairly good knowledge of the programme, adequate critical reasoning ability, sound use of socio-criminological language → 22-25/30;
- comprehensive knowledge of the programme, notable reasoning ability, good command of socio-criminological language → 26-29/30;
- extensive knowledge of the programme, very good reasoning ability, and ability to fully master socio-criminological language → 30-30L/30.
