Modalità Valutazione

The exam consists of a written test and an oral test. You can take the oral exam only after having passed the written exam with a grade equal to or higher than 16/30. The oral exam can be taken within the exam session following the one in which the written exam was taken. With a written grade equal to or higher than 26/30 you can not take the oral exam and automatically accept the grade of the writing. Instead of the written exam, you can take two exemption tests, the first halfway through the course and the second at end of the course. You are exempt from the written exam with a minimum grade of 15/30 in a test and with an average greater than or equal to 18/30. (those who got 15 will have to get at least 21 in the second test). With an average exam grade equal to or greater than 26/30, you may not take the oral exam by accepting automatically the vote of the exonerated. If you are exempt from the written exam, you can take the oral exam by September session of the same course year.
