Assessment methods
The final test consists of a written test which includes 31 multiple choice questions. The questions asked will be aimed at verifying the degree of deepening of the knowledge of the other topics covered and included in the program, the critical ability to link different knowledge together and the achievement of an organic understanding of the topics covered in class.
The exam will be considered passed if the student answers 18 out of 31 questions. The final grade will be the result of the questions answered correctly, e.g. if the student answers 31 questions correctly the mark will be 30L, if he answers 30 questions correctly the mark will be 30, if he answers 29 questions correctly the mark will be 29 and so on. No penalty will be applied for each incorrect answer.
