The exam consists of 24 questions: 20 multiple-choice and 4 open-ended. Each correct multiple-choice answer is worth 1 point, while incorrect or unanswered questions receive 0 points. The open-ended questions are scored from 0 to 3 points each. The maximum time allowed is 40 minutes. Students with Specific Learning Disorders or disabilities may be granted extra time (30% or 50%), upon official request through the University Inclusion System management platform. During the course, two assignments will be proposed: (1) analysis of a project on the observation of child behavior; (2) writing a linguistic profile of a child aged between 8 and 24 months, based on the analysis of the “First Vocabulary of the Child” questionnaire completed by the parents. Successful completion of both assignments allows students to earn up to 2 additional points, which are added to the final score of the written exam. teacher profile teaching materials
