Attendance at lessons is not mandatory, but it's useful for study

The final exam will be unique and in writing. After the written test, those who have obtained a sufficient level can also perform an oral exam. The average value between written and oral exams will be the final evaluation. The written test will be divided into 21 closed questions (with 4 possible answers for each question and only one correct), and three open-ended questions (in which the student will be asked to talk about a certain topic and / or propose a solution to a management problem). Open-ended questions will have the dual purpose of verifying the knowledge of the topics and demonstrating the ability to reason independently about the issues. Each closed question will be assigned a value of 1 point; the maximum value for each open-ended question will be of 3 points. Totally, 30 points can be assigned; 18 is the minimum to pass the exam, but at least 3 pints must derive from the open-ended questions. The test duration will be 1 hour. The oral exam is required for obtaining "laud". During the oral exam, a minimum of two questions will be directed to the students. For students attending lessons: discussion about case studies and related presentation of results will be used for the final evaluation
