The examination consists of a written test and an oral test. It is possible to take the oral test only after successfully passing the written test. It is possible to take the written and oral tests in different sessions; however, the official grade will be recorded only after completion of the two tests. The written test aims to test the candidate's ability to know how to correctly use the main bibliographic resources presented during the course: Music Dictionaries, Music Theme Dictionaries, RILM, RISM (series A/I, A/II, B/I, B/II), University Opac, SBN Opac. [All resources provided for the test are accessible online.] The test consists of a multiple-choice quiz administered electronically. Maximum time of the test: 1h30'. The test is considered passed only if it reaches a grade of at least 15/30 points. The maximum grade reaches 21/30, a grade that can be increased with the oral test. The oral test consists of the presentation and discussion of the topics presented during the course. It will be evaluated primarily on the accuracy and congruence of the answers, the appropriate use of the terminology of the discipline and the critical ability to discuss the topics examined, but also on the ability to rework with one's own expressions the disciplinary content and, more generally, on the quality of the eloquence. The evaluation of the oral test is independent of the written test: therefore, success in the written test is not an a priori guarantee of an equally favorable result in the oral test. The oral test is considered passed only if it reaches a grade of at least 6/30 points; the maximum grade reaches 12/30. The grade in the oral test is added to that achieved in the written test, determining the final grade. Students authorized to benefit from inclusive teaching will be able to take the examination tests remotely, in telematic form.
