The assessment of the level of learning will be carried out with the use of a written test and a subsequent colloquium.
The written test is divided into multiple-choice questions on the program topics and exercises related to the application of business crisis diagnosis tools. This test lasts 1 hour and is aimed at probing "knowledge" and "know-how" (Dublin Descriptors 1 and 2). It represents 80% of the overall assessment (expressed in thirtieths) articulated in relation to the educational objectives to be evaluated.
The colloquium (20% of the overall assessment) is aimed at probing the interdisciplinary communication skills and critical analysis of the business crisis.
The examination procedures are the same for attending and non-attending students.
