Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The assessment of the teaching activity will be performed through both a written test and an oral exam.
The written test is composed by 20 questions, 5 with an open response and 15 with multiple choices responses. The open questions are worth to have maximum 5 points each, while in the multiple choices response a correct answer allows to gain 1/2 while a wrong response give -1/2; no response corresponds to 0.
A positive mark on the written test is a prerequisite for being admitted to the oral.
The oral exam is performed after some days and can be performed in two ways:
- an oral exam with questions on specific parts of the program;
- discussion of an individual project work previously agreed with the teacher on a topic discussed during the semester.
The mark of the written test is considered as a basis for the final vote that is given after the oral exam.
