Assessment

Intermediate exams will be carried out during the period of suspension of teaching activities foreseen by the academic calendar in the second semester.

The exam of Calculus 1 consists of a written exam and an oral one, both of them mandatory.

The written exam, to carry out in two hours, consists of exercises related to the topics of the course. The written exam is passed if the mark is, at least, 15/30. During the written exam it is not allowed to use textbooks, workbooks or notes. Moreover, it is not allowed to use scientific calculators and mobile phones, under penalty of disqualification.

The oral exam consists of a discussion related to the topics of the course.  The oral exam can be taken only if the written one has been passed. If so, the oral exam can be taken only in the same call in which the written exam has been passed or in the other calls of the same session.

The final mark of Calculus 1 is the average of the marks of the written exam and the oral one.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
