- The exam consists of verifying the level of achievement of learning outcomes above.
The exam is divided in 2 parts that take place on different days:
•a practical test with setting and preparation of a diet with written report, that takes account of all the topics covered in the course, raffled by a student between 3 proposals. The test is intended to evaluate the understanding of the topics of the base and has the character of selection (the student who does not show sufficient knowledge of the topics not admitted to the oral test). To pass the test you must acquire at least 8 points out of 15. The expected time for the test is 120 minutes. It is not allowed to consult texts or use smartphones,…;
•an oral test, about 1 hour, with discussion of the practical and the topics discussed in the course. During the test is not valued so much the ability to repeat the topics covered in class, as the ability to link and compare different aspects discussed during the course. To overcome the test you must acquire at least 10 points out of 18. The final grade is the sum of the two scores. To pass the exam you must obtain a minimum score of 18 on 33. If one of the two trials are lacking or if the total score is less than 18, you must repeat all and 2 trials.
The final mark takes account not only of preparation demonstrated, the actual total amount of hours and the application demonstrated during the practical activity (report of the company tutors). Reference texts
