Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
The evaluation of the knowledge acquired takes place through an oral exam. The grade is expressed on a scale of thirty, up to a maximum of 30/30 cum laude.
The written exam will consist of 20 multiple choice questions on the topics covered during the lessons. The exam may include a further oral interview in which three questions are expected that concern at least three different topics of the course program. The tests aim to evaluate: i) the level of knowledge of the topics covered during the course; ii) the ability to apply this knowledge to solve specific problems related to Health IT (problem-solving and independent judgement); iii) clarity of presentation; iv) the use of medical-scientific language. Learning assessment can also be carried out remotely, if conditions require it.
The following parameters will be taken into account to assign the final grade:
• Score 29-30 with honors: The student demonstrates in-depth knowledge of the topics, promptly and correctly integrates and critically analyzes the situations presented, independently solving even very complex problems. He has excellent communication skills and competently masters medical-scientific language.
• Score 26-28: The student has a good understanding of the topics, is able to integrate and analyze the situations presented critically and logically, is able to solve complex problems quite independently and presents the topics clearly using a language appropriate medical-scientific.
• Score 22-25: The student has a fair understanding of the topics, even if limited to the main areas. He is able to integrate and critically analyze the situations presented, although not always in a linear way, and presents the topics quite clearly with moderate linguistic competence.
• Score 18-21: The student has minimal knowledge of the topics, has a modest ability to integrate and critically analyze the situations presented and presents the topics clearly enough, although his/her linguistic competence may be poorly developed.
• Exam not passed: The student does not have the minimum required knowledge of the fundamental contents of the course. The ability to use a specific language is minimal or non-existent and the student is not able to independently apply the knowledge acquired.
