Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a written test and an oral evaluation.
The written test, concerning the General Psychology module, comprises 31 multiple-choice questions with 5 possible answers, of which only one is correct. Correct answers are attributed a score of 1; wrong answers are attributed a score of 0. The total score to the written test is the sum of the scores to the right answers and it is calculated right at the end of the test.
Students can inspect their test and decide whether to accept the mark. Those who pass the written test (score equal to or higher than 18/30) may have access to the oral evaluation which takes place at the end of the written test.
The oral exam will assess students' knowledge about the learning programs of the Clinical Psychology and Internal Medicine modules, with regard to their achievement of the expected learning outcomes.
Both the written test and the oral evaluation will take place during the same exam session. The final mark will be the arithmetic mean of the score obtained at the written test and the score obtained at the oral evaluation. There are no intermediate or early exam sessions.
