From 1 June 2022 exams will be held in person, unless specific condition.
Exam session
The exam sessions are stated in the Academic Calendar.
All teaching activities of the Department of Economics will have 3 exam sessions:
- Two exam sessions at the end of the semester when classes take place;
- One retake exam session, starting end of August, through mid September.
Instructions for all exams:
- Students can sit exams only if they are regularly enrolled (regular payment of the annual tuition fees), and if the exam is included in the student's study plan. In any case, the exam cannot be sat prior to the end of the relevant course unit, with reference to the enrolment year.
- The exam may consist in a oral, written or practice/lab test. The assessment may take place individually or in groups. A group examination or test must assure the recognition and possibility to evaluate each candidate's contribution, relating to the implementation of specific projects, established and assigned by the professor in charge of the learning activity, or to the participation in research initiatives or experiments. In all cases, these activities aim to assess the student's knowledge and skills characterising the activity included in the curriculum.
- Oral exams are open to the public, while for the other assessment methods the Degree programme shall ensure appropriate forms of publicity.
Exam evaluation and registration
- For all study programmes exams are graded of out of 30, as duly registered on electronic record-book. An exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. In the event of a full grade (30/30), the Examination Board may grant honours (lode - cum laude).
- In the cases provided by the degree programme regulations, the grade may simply be expressed on a pass/fail basis.
- A combined course unit (with a final exam composed of more learning activities or modules) provides for a single joint evaluation.
- Learning credits are awarded only after having successfully passed the course unit exam or other assessment.
- An exam or other test already registered with a positive grade cannot be repeated.
- A negative evaluation does not imply the allocation of a grade or mark, but merely an evaluation reported on the records (either "Withdrawn" or "Failed"): this evaluation is not included in the curriculum and does not affect the average of the final grade.
- The digital records, filled in by using the AlmaEsami system, must be completed by adding the digital signature of the Chairman of the Examination Board and the names of the member of the Board no later than 5 days following the exam or test date, or in the case of a written exam or test, within five days of the date of publication of the results.
