Assessment methods and criteria
Attending students:
attending students will be required to carry out activities assigned during in-person or online classes.
For the final assessment, students will be expected to produce a paper and a practical assignment, which they will work on during the course, refining and completing it as their skills increase and with the support of group work and classroom lecturers in face-to-face lectures.
The final paper and task will be handed in at the end of the course and will be commented on with the teacher in a final oral examination.
Non-attending students:
Students will be required to produce a paper and pass a test with multiple-choice questions on the course content and an oral interview afterwards in which the paper handed in will be commented on.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
For attending students the final mark is the result of the scores obtained as follows:
Final paper and practical task (50%) final oral examination (50%).
For non-attending students the final mark is the result of the scores obtained as follows: test (50%), final paper (30%) final oral examination (20%).
A fail is determined by a substantial lack of an understanding of the minimum content of the course or to a substantial lack of competence in applying the knowledge acquired.
A pass (18-23/30 is determined by the student’s understanding of the minimum, fundamental contents of the course, an adequate level of autonomous preparation and ability to solve problems related to information retrieval and the decoding of complex texts, as well as an acceptable level of ability in making independent judgments. Moreover, a pass is due to only partial competence in applying the knowledge acquired.
Middle-range scores (24-27/30) are assigned to the student who produces evidence of a more than sufficient level (24-25/30) or good level (2627/30) in the evaluation indicators listed above. Moreover, middle range scores are due to acceptable to good levels of competence in applying the knowledge acquired.
Higher scores (from 28/30 to 30/30 cum laude) are awarded on the basis of the student’s demonstration of a very good or excellent level in the evaluation indicators listed above. Moreover, higher scores are due to very good to excellent levels of competence in applying the knowledge acquired.
