Type of Assessment
The final examination aims at ascertaining the student's actual level of knowledge and understanding. This is a conversation with the teacher held without books and notes, focused in various topics related to the content of the course (see learning objectives). Particular attention will be adressed to the assessment of the student's abilities of contextualization and critical analysis.
In particular, students will have to demonstrate that they have achieved the skills defined by the Dublin descriptors:
a) being able to communicate conclusions in a clear and unambiguous way, as well as the knowledge and rationale underlying them, to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors;
b) have developed those learning skills that allow you to continue studying mostly in a self-directed or autonomous way;
c) demonstrated knowledge and understanding that extend and/or reinforce those typically associated with the first cycle and allow for the elaboration and/or application of original ideas, often in a research context.
