Learning assessment methods
The vote will be based on intermediate tests and a final examination.
Due to current circumstances, the exams will take place on-line, on the platform Webex.
They will consist of oral interviews with open-ended questions.On Moodle it is possible to find the Additional Data Protection Statement according to art. 13 EU Regulation 679/2016 for Remote Examinations.
Additional recommendations for Students
- Check your institutional e-mail address, on which the Professor will send to you all the communication about the exams.
- Be collaborative: cancel your registration from Esse3 if you do not intend or you can no longer take the exams.
- If Esse3 no longer allows you to unsubscribe, immediately notify the Professor – by e-mail – of your intention not to take part in the exams.
- Please, students attendance to the oral examinations shall be on time.
- Please, read the Data Protection Statement available on Moodle.
- Read carefully the University Code of Ethics (available at https://www.unito.it/sites/default/files/allegati/01-08-2014/cod_etico_comunita_universitaria.pdf ) in whose moral principles – above all in current situation, in which the methods of examination that we will adopt make you more responsible – we are all sure that you recognize yourselves. You are men and women who will soon find a place in the world of work: we, as Professors, have faith in your human qualities and we appeal to those.
However, the risk that meritocratic principles will be polluted by inappropriate behaviors is immanent and it is for this reason that each Professor will continue, with even greater strictness, to supervise the performance of the oral and written exams, thanks to the inferential analysis tools of numerous data available to us and anti-plagiarism and anti-copy software, to avoid that the respect for merit is a prerogative for few.
In addition to being morally reprehensible, such behaviors are unlawful and they will be punished in the ways and with the administrative sanctions provided by the Regulation on Proceedings and disciplinary sanctions against students ( https://www.sme.unito.it/sites/u005/files/allegatiparagrafo/20-07-2016/regolamento_sanzioni_disciplinari_scuola_di_management_ed_economia_0.pdf ).
