Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
Written and Oral exam. The oral examination must be sustained in the same appeal of the written test. In case of failure of the oral exam, the student must also repeat the written test.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
understending the principles of physics

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
overcoming the threshold of the written test and knowledge of the fundamental principles of physics. For each of the tests specified before it is assigned a mark between zero and thirty. The overall mark, in thirtieths, is given by the weighted average of

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The student has to overcome the written test threshold. The student passes the examination if obtains at least an average mark of eighteen points. The highest mark is achieved by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the course content in the tests. Praise is given to students who, having done all the tests correctly, have demonstrated a deep knowledge of physical concepts
