Attendance
In-personType of evaluation
The assessment will include an oral interview to ascertain the possession of skills and subject knowledge provided by the course. The candidate must answer at least two/three questions posed orally on all topics covered by the program, with reference to the adopted texts and the materials provided on the Moodle platform. The final assessment aims to evaluate whether the student has knowledge and understanding of the issues and has acquired the capacity for interpretation and independent judgment. Assessment is carried out on a scale of thirty, with a passing grade of 18, up to a maximum of 30 out of 30. An additional 'honors' distinction may be awarded if the student excels at the topics covered during the course. The threshold for passing will be reached when the student shows knowledge and understanding of the issues, at least in broad terms, and demonstrates applied skills in presenting the content learned. The student must also have presentation and argumentative abilities to convey their knowledge to the examiner. Below this threshold, the exam will be considered insufficient. The more the examinee is able to independently establish connections between the course topics and go into detail on the subject being tested, the more positive the evaluation will be.
