To pass the exam, we suggest a theoretical deepening already from the beginning of the course attendance. For the purpose of consultation and in-depth study, the recommended books are: 1. Elements of biology and genetics. David Sadava David M. Hillis H. Craig Heller May R. Berenbaum. Zanichelli.

Following the Regulations of the CdS, the student is required to attend educational activities, formal, non-formal, and vocational. The attendance is checked by the teachers through signature/roll call, based on updated lists provided by the Academic Office, as established by CCL. The certificate of attendance to the course is mandatory and required for the student to be admitted to the final exam.

To pass the exam it is necessary to achieve a grade of not less than 18/30 in each module. The student must demonstrate that they have acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics covered during the course. To achieve a score of 30/30 cum laude, the student must instead demonstrate that they have acquired excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course, arguing a linear reasoning with the use of technical terms and making use of correct linguistic expressions.
