Verification of learning skills
There is only a final exam, which ensures the acquisition of knowledge through a written test and an oral test. The written exam will have duration of two hours, without using notes or books, tables (where necessary for the conduct of the written test will be provided along with the exam text); the test consists of two exercises, divided in multiple points, and an application of theory. For each are awarded 12 points and for the question of theory 6 points, to be admitted to the oral test is necessary to achieve the minimum score of 18, of which at least 4 points for the question of theory. After the correction of the written exam, students who have achieved sufficiency are asked to support the oral examination. This is structured as follows:-a review of the written exam in which you explain the fixes, you receive any student details and decide whether to change the written exam; -an oral examination, in order to check the knowledge regarding the theory lesson and facing the capacity of synthesis of this knowledge. The oral exam provides 10 points in positive or in negative.
