Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Learning will be constantly monitored through student interview in class.
The final exam consists of a written test to be taken in one of the scheduled exam sessions. It lasts 90 minutes and is made up of a theoretical part (T) and a practical part (E).
Part T consists of two questions, part E consists of two technical exercises.
Evaluation: in part T a maximum of ten points can be achieved, in part E a maximum of twenty points. The evaluation takes into account both correctness and clarity of presentation. To pass the written test it is necessary to obtain at least six points in part T and at least twelve points in part E.
The result of the test will be communicated within a few days of the test itself on the Studium portal.
However, the presence of the student will be necessary for the verbalization, who will be able to accept the grade obtained or choose to withdraw.
The following criteria will normally be followed to assign the grade:
not approved: the student has not acquired the basic concepts and is not able to carry out the exercises.
18-23: the student demonstrates minimal mastery of the basic concepts, his skills in exposition and connection of contents are modest, he is able to solve simple exercises.
24-27: the student demonstrates good mastery of the course contents, his presentation and content connection skills are good, he solves the exercises with few errors.
28-30 cum laude: the student has acquired all the contents of the course and is able to explain them fully and connect them with a critical spirit; solves the exercises completely and without errors.
To participate in the exam you must have booked on the SmartEdu portal.
The final assessment of learning can also be carried out electronically, should conditions require it. In this case, it will consist of an oral interview, lasting a maximum of 20 minutes, including both theory questions and the carrying out of some exercises.
