Assessment methods

The exam involves the evaluation of the contents of the entire module.

The exam involves the written preparation of a mandate agreed in the classroom [ a design of a clinical audit, based on a scheme tested in the classroom]. The project must be sent to the teacher via email at least 10 days before the exam.

The evaluation criteria:

30 cum laude, excellent and complete implementation of the audit project.

from 25 to 29, complete implementation of the Audit protocol, compliance with delivery times.

from 20 to 24 fair implementation of the Audit protocol, compliance with delivery times.

18-19 sufficient implementation

The test is considered passed with a minimum score of 18/30.

The IC rating corresponds to the weighted average of the ratings obtained in the individual IC tests; in case of scoring with decimal, if the number after the decimal point is greater than or equal to 5 it is approximated upwards, if less than 5 it is approximated downwards. Honors are awarded if the candidate has achieved an evaluation of 30/30 in all CI courses and at least two honours;

2) the positive evaluation of the individual IC tests is kept valid for the period of two sessions; after this period, the candidate who has not taken and passed all the CI tests will have to repeat all the CI exams. Therefore, for example, the tests taken in the summer session (June, July) will remain valid up to and including the autumn session; 3) for the verbalization of the C.I. (professor Prof. Martoni) it is necessary to register for the CI exams published on Almaesami; presence is not necessary.
