Assessment methods

The final test consists of an oral exam in which the student will be asked to discuss a topic taken from the program. The questions are designed to test the student's degree of deepening knowledge of the proposed topic and other topics in the program, critical ability to link different knowledge together, and an organic understanding of the topics covered in class.

The exam will be considered passed if the student has demonstrated sufficient knowledge in each topic.

The student's acquisition of an organic understanding of the topics covered in class, combined with their critical use, the ability to make connections, and the evidence of ownership of a mastery of expression and specific language will be evaluated with grades of excellence. The final grade for the Integrated Course, is the result of the weighted average between the individual modules. Honors will be at the discretion of the committee.
