ZOOLOGY - 139028-M2

The evaluation consists of a written test, during the course. The written test covers the topics proposed during the course. Lasting no less than 30 minutes, consisting of 10 questions each evaluated a maximum of 3 points, it is designed to test both the ability to correctly apply theoretical knowledge and the ability to understand the proposed problems. The writing test results are published on the course web page. Students (who cannot take the in-class written test during the course) will take it on the date of the exam. The final mark, expressed on a scale of 1-30, considers the quality of the acquired skills and the speaking ability. The final mark can be: a) Insufficient (less than 18/30): The candidate does not demonstrate that he possesses the minimum notions on the topics dealt with in the course, has modest expressive abilities and in any case insufficient to support a coherent dialogue, a lack of synthesis and little interaction with the teacher during the interview. b) Sufficient (from 18 to 20/30): The candidate demonstrates to have few acquired notions, superficial level, and many gaps. The expressive capacities are modest but sufficient to support a coherent dialogue; the logical abilities and consequentiality in the connection of the elementary level arguments; interaction with the teacher during the interview is scarce. c) Fair (from 21 to 23/30): The candidate shows to have a discrete acquisition of notions, but little depth, few gaps; expressive skills more than sufficient to support a coherent dialogue; acceptable mastery of scientific language; logical skills and consequentiality in the connection of moderate complexity topics; more than enough capacity for synthesis and adequate graphic expression. d) Good (from 24 to 26/30): The candidate demonstrates that he has a wealth of notions rather broad, moderately in-depth, with few gaps; satisfactory expressive abilities and significant mastery of scientific language; dialogic ability and critical spirit well detectable; good synthesis skills. e) Very good (from 27 to 29/30): The candidate demonstrates profound knowledge, with marginal gaps; remarkable expressive abilities and high mastery of scientific language; remarkable dialogic ability, useful competence and good aptitude for logical synthesis; high synthesis skills. f) Excellent (30/30): The candidate demonstrates that he has a wealth of pervasive and in-depth knowledge, any irrelevant gaps; high expressive abilities and high mastery of scientific language; excellent dialogic ability and marked aptitude for making connections between different topics; remarkable synthesis ability. "Laude" is given to candidates who demonstrate a complete degree of preparation and appropriate use of the specific vocabulary. In order to proceed with the registration of the examination, each student is required to design one UdA for the Zoology course, on one of the topics covered. The UdA, optionally intended for pre-school or primary school, is to be uploaded to the e-learning platform (in the "Student delivery" folder) ten days before the exam. The verbalization of the examination will be conditional on the aforementioned delivery.
