Oral exam

The final exam consists of an oral exam in which the student will mainly discuss a topic taken from the program. As part of the interview, questions will also be asked aimed at verifying the degree of in-depth knowledge of the proposed topic and the other topics of the program, the critical ability to connect different knowledge to each other through logical-deductive connections and the achievement of a deep understanding of topics covered in class.

Gradation of the final grade:

Preparation on a very limited number of topics covered in the course and analytical skills that emerge only with the help of the teacher, expressed in an overall correct language → 18-19;

Preparation on a limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to autonomous analysis only on purely executive matters, expression in correct language → 20-24;

Preparation on a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent choices of critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;

Comprehensive preparation on the topics covered in the course, ability to make autonomous choices of critical analysis and connection, full mastery of specific terminology and ability to argue and self-reflection → 30.

The achievement by the student of an integrated vision of the topics addressed in class, combined with their critical use, the ability to make connections, the demonstration of an expressive mastery and specific language will be evaluated with honors.

The criterion for integrating the grade into the final overall assessment of the CI provides for the weighted mathematical average based on credits.
