Lessons in class

Learning will be monitored through questions put to students during the lessons

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage:
https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities
Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects.

The exam consists of a written test and of platform presentation. The written test evaluates the student's ability to apply the knowledge acquired during the course and consists of open-ended questions
The level of difficulty of the questions corresponds to the program carried out and to the reference texts indicated on DIR. For each of the questions are assigned up to 8 points. The written test is considered passed if the overall assessment is not less than 18 points.
During the written test it is not allowed to consult notes, books or other material.

The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths (minimum mark 18).
