Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The learning evaluation methods consist of a written test and an oral test. The oral and the written test are taken in the same exam session. In case of a negative outcome of the examination, the student must retake all tests. The written test consists in solving exercises on the topics covered during the course The oral exam consists of written examination and discussion of one or more themes of the course program. Preliminary self-assessment test (homework) must be carried out before the exam. It is up to the student to choose the time for the solution of the homework. They consist of the online solution of problems related to the topics of electromagnetism, submitted through an online open source platforms (Homework Opensource Platform, HOP).

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To pass the exam, the student have to demonstrate knowledge of all the topics of the course program which will be submitted. The student must demonstrate, through the trials described above, the understanding of the concepts exposed in the course on the principles of electromagnetism and of the evaluation of the impact of electromagnetic fields. The student's ability to demonstrate the basic principles of electromagnetism and his ability to link between topics as well as the ability to apply to concrete examples will be evaluated.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The final evaluation of the examination is graded from 0 to 30. The minimum score for passing the exam is 18/30. The written test is graded from 0 to 30. The minimum score on the written test required for a positive final evaluation is 18/30

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The final mark will take into account of the overall examination, both written and oral, according to the evaluation criteria described above. The highest rating is achieved by demonstrating a thorough understanding of teaching content, exposed with complete mastery of technical language. The ”lode” will be given to students who, having answered all the questions correctly and completely, have demonstrated a particular brilliance in exposure and a particular skill and autonomy in theoretical demonstrations.
