The written exam consists of 20 multiple-choice questions (4 alternatives, only one must be correct) to be taken in 40 minutes, the outcome of which - calculated by assigning 1 point for each correct answer, -0.5 for each incorrect answer and 0 for each one left blank - conditions the final grade for the oral exam according to the following scores: 0-5.5: not admitted to the oral exam; 6-10.5: 22 is the maximum mark achievable at the oral exam; 11-15.5: 26 is the maximum mark achievable at the oral exam; 16-20: 30 cum laude is the maximum mark achievable at the oral exam. Exemptions are provided for those attending. Additional object of evaluation for frequent attendees will be activities proposed in class with which it is possible to influence the above scores. Quality and completeness of learning, autonomy of judgment and reasoning, acquisition and mastery of the specific demoethnoanthropological language, active participation are taken into account in the formulation of the judgment. To obtain a minimum grade (18/30) the student must demonstrate a basic knowledge of the topics with acceptable expository quality.
