Theory and Methodology of Human Movement: learning will be checked by a written test about the contents discussed and experimented during the course. The test, lasting one hour, will be based on ten multiple choice questions (five options and only one correct) and ten open-ended questions. There will be both general and specific questions. Additional information will be given in case of DAD.
Theory of Free Time and Sporting Group Activities: the test will be oral. It will evaluate the student’s theoretical knowledge of the topics covered during the course, the analytical and synthesis skills, the mastery of expression and the use of the correct specific language.

The final mark is the average of the evaluations obtained in the two sections (rounded-up).
The positive result of one of the two parts will be valid for the whole student’s academic curriculum. The final mark will be registered when both the results are positive.
