Type of evaluation

The test is based on 3 open-ended questions related to the exam program (different, therefore, for attending and non-attending students). Each question is rated from 0 to 10 points. Students have 90 minutes of time at their disposal. At any time of the exam, it is possible to withdraw. The use of civil codes or other supporting texts is not allowed, except those eventually made available by the professor during the exam. In the days following the test, the grade is communicated by the GOMP system. At that point, each student has 7 days to eventually refuse the grade; after this term, the grade is considered accepted and is definitively recorded.
