Students attending the course will take two written tests: the first will take place in the first half of the course of each academic year, the second at the end of the course (on a date prior to that of first official appeal). The two tests will deal with different topics of the program, the first will focus on topics 1-6, the second will cover the remaining part of the program (topics 7-14). Both written tests will include both open and/or multiple choice questions and/or exercises. The possibility of accessing the second test requires passing the first with a minimum score of 18/30.

Students who have passed the two tests will be able to directly register that they have passed the exam from the first available exam and in any case within the academic year in which the tests were taken. The final grade out of thirty will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the grade obtained in each test.

For students who have passed or taken only one written test, the exam methods will only be in the form of an "oral interview" (to be taken within the academic year in which the tests were carried out and concerning the part of the program for which did not pass or did not take the test).

The written tests will take place exclusively according to the methods indicated above.

For students who have not passed or taken both written tests and for all other exam sessions of the course, the exam method envisaged will be that of the "oral interview", covering the entire program of the course.

The learning assessment can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it, in which case all tests (including ongoing ones) will be carried out orally.
