Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
Assessment of student learning is performed through an oral examination. The oral examination consists of a discussion of some of the topics covered during the course. The number of arguments is not fixed, but is a function of the behavior in the oral examination. Failing an oral test does not preclude registration to the following exams.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
In order to successfully pass the exam, the student must demonstrate mastery of the concepts introduced in the course; the written test is aimed to verify the ability to solve problems by the methods introduced during the course. In the oral examination, the student must demonstrate that he/she is are able to introduce, to derive, to argue, show and to link relationships and theories related to electromagnetism and its applications, with particular emphasis on applications in the domain of information

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The exam is performed in order to assess: 1) the efforts made by the student in the preparation of the exam 2) what the student has learned, and what actually understood 3) student's ability to develop its own considerations and criticisms of the concepts studied and the skills to use them independently, applying to issues not explicitly covered in the course 4) the possible impact of particular personal circumstances (emotional, communication and learning problems, kind of triennial course previously attended by the student)

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The use of the learning measurement criterion 1 ) enables to establish a rating between 0 and 20; criterion 2) , obviously if criterion 1) is satisfied, allows to rate the student between 20 and 28), while criterion 3 ) allows to assign marks between 28 and 30. All ratings are weighted by the criterion 4 ), according to which the duration of the examination may vary greatly. During the course are explicitly mentioned topics of extreme complexity, optional, that, if learned by those who have been proven to meet criterion 3), allow to get the “laude” mark.
