Assessment methods

The oral exam consists of one or more questions on the course material covered. To pass the exam, students must obtain a passing grade on each question.
The purpose of the oral exam is to test the student's ability to apply their knowledge and make the necessary logical-deductive connections. The number of questions may vary based on the student's level of preparation and depth of understanding of the subject matter as demonstrated in their answers. The exam aims to assess the achievement of the following learning objectives:
* Knowledge of the diagnostic and clinical process of the main periodontal diseases
* Knowledge of the main concepts of periodontal disease treatment

* Knowledge of the principles and tools of non-surgical treatment (STEP 1 and 2)

Final grade:
→ 18-19: Knowledge of a very limited number of topics covered in the course and analytical skills that emerge only with the instructor's assistance, generally correct language; → 20-24: Knowledge of a limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to independently analyze only purely executive issues, using correct language; → 25-29: Knowledge of a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to independently make critical analysis choices, mastery of specific terminology; → 30-30L: Essentially comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered in the course, ability to independently make critical analysis and connections, full mastery of specific terminology, and ability to argue and self-reflect.

The final grade will then be calculated as a weighted average of the other exams included in the Integrated Course.
