The exam is oral. At the end of the lessons, there will be a pre-exam which will be followed immediately by the correction (formative assessment). The written test, with questions of different kinds (multiple choice, definitions, correspondences, complete and other types) will be on the topics covered until 16 January 2020. Students who pass the written test will have an oral interview that will start from a research article chosen by them (Critical Appraisal) and another possible question.
Those who have an insufficient evaluation of the pre-exam test will bring the entire program of the research course for a more in-depth oral exam in addition to the research article.
