Assessment Methods

The exam will consist of an oral test that will assess the ability to apply the knowledge acquired through the critical discussion of a research protocol by arguing design choices and related developments in terms of teaching. In addition, the student will have to demonstrate that he knows the essential aspects of a research protocol, focussed in the context of the critical area by analysing innovative ways of providing assistance for the future educational project. The final assessment of the teaching will be expressed in thirtieths. The praise may be awarded, on the unanimous opinion of the Examination Committee, to those who have obtained a final vote of 30/30. To achieve a score of 30/30 and praise the student will then have to demonstrate that he has acquired an excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course.
