METHOD OF VERIFYING PROFIT IN ITINERE The degree of student learning is constantly monitored through verification tools and methodologies. In particular, in order to make the verification and certification of the training results feasible, the teacher and the tutor will consider the following aspects: 1) automatic tracking of training activities by the system - reporting; 2) didactic and technical monitoring (in terms of quantity and quality of interactions, compliance with didactic deadlines, delivery of the planned papers, etc.); 3) ongoing training checks, also for self-assessment (eg multiple choice tests, true/false, sequence of questions with varying difficulty, simulations, mind maps, works, group projects, etc.); 4) final exam, during which it is considered and valued not only the performance during the exam, but also the work done online (remote activities, quantity and quality of online interactions, etc.) . In this framework, the evaluation takes into account several aspects: a) the result of a certain number of intermediate tests, if foreseen (in terms of online tests, development of works, etc.); b) the quality and quantity of participation in online activities (frequency and quality of interventions that can be monitored through the platform); c) the results of the final exam. It is specified that the final test is only of the "written" type. The oral test is optional and is useful only and exclusively to refine the evaluation of the written test. The topics of the oral exam, if carried out, are agreed between the teacher and the student. All the collected data will be, in general, evaluated by the teacher to give the student an evaluation that is objective and consistent with the university's objectives, taking into account both the summative aspects and the formative aspects.
ASSESSMENT METHOD AND AIMS OF THE FINAL EXAM The access to the exam is subordined to the recognition of attendance, which will be recognized, at the booking time for the exam, by an appropriate certificate, that will certify the development of the didactic verification activities in progress and at the level of the work made in the various exercises. The exam will consist of a written test, with an optional oral one. The final evaluation will be expressed out of 30, with possible honors depending on the degree of maturity reached by the student. The exam aims at the didactic aims described as follows. In particular, the student will have to: a) be able to recognize a possible methodology to solve an indefinite or definite integral; b) know how to study the features of a numerical series; c) be able to identify possible relative maxima/minima for functions of two variables; d) know how to solve various types of differential equations; e) be able to study the convergence of suitable series of functions; f) know how to solve problems of Complex Analysis. The written test foresees a score for all the previous aims, from point a) to point f). Each goal has a variable score. Honors will be awarded in those particular cases in which particular maturity is demonstrated in solving the exam questions.
