Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
At least 7-10 days before the date of the final exam, the student must send a draft of the report about the practical excercise on the class topics via mail. Once revised, the student should bring a copy of the final version of such a report the day appointed for the finals.
During the finals,the student should answer, generally, three-four oral questions about the topics of the course (please refer to the Most frequent questions below).
The evaluation will be based on the:
- quality of the report on practical applications (50%);
- completeness and clarity of the answers to the oral questions (50%).
Active participation to class work will be also accounted for.The acquisition of skills will be verified by means of an oral exam which will cover both the theoretical arguments and the assigned exercises.
