Assessment methods and criteria


Written test + project work presentation.

The WRITTEN TEST (with a duration of 20 minutes) consists of 14 closed-ended (2 points per question) and 1 open-ended question (5 points). There is no penalty for incorrect or no answers. The written test grade will weigh 40% of the overall exam grade. Telephones, smartwatches, books, notes and other teaching materials are not allowed during the written test.

PROJECT WORK: The project work will be discussed in the classroom before the end of class for attending students and consists of the application of theoretical concepts presented during the lectures, to a practical case. The project work will weigh 60% on the overall exam grade.

Project work evaluation criteria:

Creative and innovative ability
Ability to work in a team
Ability to frame the need
Completeness and correctness of the topics covered
Technical feasibility of the project
Attention to social and/or environmental aspects
Effectiveness and quality of presentation


The final grade will be announced after the written test and project work presentation, and will be calculated as a weighted average of the written test grade (40%) and the project work grade (60%). To obtain honors, you must have a weighted average of the 2 grades greater than or equal to 30.5.

It is mandatory to register for the exam, exclusively via the Internet (https://unipr.esse3.cineca.it) up to 7 days before the exam itself.



It is also possible, for students attending the course, to take the written test during a pretest (before the end of the course, usually the last week of class). The pretest will be agreed upon at the beginning of the course and will have the same structure as the official exams. It is mandatory to register for the pretest; a special registration procedure will be opened for registration on the course Elly page (if outside the exam session) or on esse3 (if within the exam session). Students will be notified in the classroom and by email of the opening of registration and the deadline by which to register.

During the academic year, there will be 7 dates, divided into the three sessions January/February and March/April, June/July and September, 3 of which will be in the session immediately following the course (January/February and March/April), and 2 in the remaining two sessions.
