ADMISSION RULES:
No distinction is made between attending and non-attending students. There are no preparatory activities or other tasks required to access the exam.

TYPE OF EXAM:
The exam is written, aims to assess the knowledge acquired on the topics covered during the course, and is delivered through a web platform.

EXAM PROCEDURES:
The classroom is typically traditional (not computer-equipped). Students must bring their own device (computer or tablet) with an internet connection to take the exam. Students may only use the exam website.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
The exam is graded on a 30-point scale.
A questionnaire with multiple-choice and open-ended questions is administered through a dedicated platform.
It is a timed exam lasting 45 minutes.
Students receive written confirmation of their participation via email from the instructor, with specific instructions for the exam.
The questionnaire—accessible via a link (the same for everyone) sent by email—and the access password provided at the time of the exam includes multiple-choice questions and 2 open-ended questions, for a total of 29 questions.
1 point is awarded for each correct answer.
Open-ended questions are assessed at a later stage.
Since these are open responses, students are encouraged to provide well-developed and content-rich answers.
The evaluation of the open-ended questions is at the instructor’s discretion.
The questions (and their order) are distributed automatically by the system.
The instructor does not know the questions in advance.
The environment is a web platform, and navigation follows its standard structure.
At the bottom of the page, the “submit” button sends the responses.
The results of the multiple-choice section are immediately available.
If the time expires, the exam is still submitted and evaluated by the system.
The instructor can verify in real time that the exam has been submitted, but not the responses.
Only once the system is unlocked can the instructor access and download the data for evaluation.
In this phase, it is also possible to send a report with the results of the questions, which are already visible to the student.
Once the results have been reviewed, the platform may be closed and the session ended.

It is considered that the questionnaire format, in its structure and timing, is appropriate for evaluating the learning objectives of this course. Multiple-choice questions assess specific, factual knowledge, while open-ended questions are the closest equivalent to an oral examination. In this respect, they measure broader understanding of the subject, allowing students to structure and express their reflections freely. This demonstrates their ability to identify and articulate the key elements of the topic.
