Assessment

The examination in Microeconomics is based on a written test. The written test is divided into two parts and consists of 4 open questions and 2 exercises. As for questions, each correct answer is worth 5 points. For the exercises, each exercise correctly done (the numerical result for the year must be the exact one) is worth 6 points. The vote proposed to each student will be obtained by adding the scores obtained in the questions and exercises; then the maximum achievable rating is equal to 32, which corresponds to a 30 cum laude. The exam is considered passed if the student brings an evaluation equal to or greater than 18. The vote may be:

- Rejected by the student; the test must be repeated (possible option for once).

- Accepted by the student.

- Accepted with request for integration in the oral test (which can increase or decrease the script rating). The test results are displayed on the same day or the next day of the test. At the timetable announced during the written exam, students who wish may inspect their proper exam, proceed with registration of the votes for those who accept the vote and take the oral exam for those that require integration.
