Assessment methods and criteria
The learning outcomes will be periodically monitored through the provision of intermediate tests and the holding of interactive seminars. The final exam will take place in oral form, for the purpose of the attribution of the vote, expressed in thirtieths. The praise is assigned in the case of excellent mastery of both the contents and the technical vocabulary. The test vote is immediately communicated at the end of the test. The student has the right not to accept it.
