Assessment methods and Criteria
- Methods: the learning assessment will be carried out by means of a single oral test on the topics developed during the lectures. No ongoing tests are scheduled.
- Typology: four questions will be formulated during the interview: two of them will be selected by the teacher, one will relate to a topic of the program chosen by the student, and a final question will refer to the exercise-project developed during the course.
- Evaluation parameters: the correctness of the answers, the appropriateness of the language, the ability to include interdisciplinary elements and notions, if required, will be assessed.
- Type of evaluation used: grade out of thirty.
- Useful materials to take the test: any technical table/sheets useful for formulating the answers will be provided by the teacher.
