LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
students are evaluated through 2 levels: - first level: evaluation of the annual exercises; - second level: oral exam on one or more topic

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
if they want to have a positive evaluation, students have to demonstrate to have rightly assimilated the concepts pointed out during the course, that is, the design of correct interventions on architectural heritage throughout all the needed phases (from the critic survey to the definition of the new constructive details).

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
a score (0-30) is assigned to each level. The final mark is the average value of the two level

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
in order to have a posive evaluation, students have to reach at least the score of 18/30 in each level. The maximum evaluation is assigned for a complete knowledge of the topics for each level. The evaluation of ”30 cum laude” is assigned to students who demonstrate a particular skill both in oral exam and in the annual exercise.
