500142 - MATHEMATICS (A-D)

The learning objectives will be verified through one or more written tests divided into closed-ended questions and open-ended questions in order to verify not only the learning of specific notions but also the ability to apply them and the acquisition of transversal skills such as the use of deductive reasoning and its correct formalization. 1. FULL EXAM: It consists of a written test lasting 90 minutes. The test is divided into two parts. The first part, worth 12 points, consists of eight multiple choice questions, worth 1.5 points each, aimed at testing the acquisition of basic skills both in terms of calculation and theoretical notions. It is considered passed if at least four questions are answered correctly. The second part, which is worth 20 points, will be corrected only if the first part is passed. It consists of three open questions worth 6 or 7 points each, possibly divided into several questions of a theoretical and applied nature. You are required to provide a motivated and formally correct answer based on the theoretical notions and calculation techniques learned. The final grade will be given by the sum of the scores obtained in the two parts (approximately upwards in the case of decimal scores). Alternatively, for newly enrolled students only, there is the possibility of passing the exam through two tests, one of which is ongoing. 2. ONGOING TEST: The ongoing test takes place during the appropriate autumn break, it is worth 12 points and lasts 45 minutes. It consists of eight multiple choice questions worth 1.5 points each on the part of the program covered in class up to the date of the test. The outcome of the first ongoing test will be made known by publishing the scores obtained by the students on the General Mathematics page on the Kiro e-learning portal. The test is considered passed if at least four questions are answered correctly. Passing the first ongoing test gives the Student the right to conclude the exam by taking the integration of the ongoing test in only one of the two winter sessions chosen by the Student. The latter is worth 20 points, lasts 70 minutes and consists of three open questions worth 6 or 7 points each. These questions concern the entire course program and are possibly divided into several questions of a theoretical and applied nature. The student will be asked to provide a motivated and formally correct answer based on the theoretical notions and calculation techniques learned. The final grade will be given by the sum of the scores obtained in the ongoing test and its integration (approximately upwards in case of decimal score). For both exam methods (FULL or with ONGOING TEST) the total points available between the first and second part/test is 32. The exam is considered passed if an overall score of no less than 18/30 is achieved. and a score higher than 30/32 is equivalent to 30 cum laude. During the test, the use of calculators or electronic devices of any kind, books or notes is not permitted. The final result of the exam will be made known to the student on his reserved area (Essetre portal).
