Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a project with its oral discussion and a written test, both mandatory. The project aims to delve into the practical aspects of one or more topics covered in the course. The oral discussion of the project focuses on the topics addressed in the development of the project and aims to evaluate its quality. The themes and specifications of the project will be proposed at the end of the course and it can be carried out, only individually, within 12 months following the publication date.
In order to take the oral test it is necessary to register for one of the exam sessions indicated in the calendar and send the material produced according to the project specifications.
There is also a written test that allows you to evaluate the theoretical part of the course.
Once all the tests have been passed, the overall evaluation is formulated, expressed in thirtieths, taking into account the following parameters: degree of knowledge of the topics, ability to apply knowledge to the resolution of a concrete project, quality of the project developed, critical reasoning ability , expository clarity and language properties.
