Learning assessment methods

During the summer session, the exam will take place remotely, because of the contingency measures required by the Phase 2 of the Covid19 emergency outbreak. The exam will be powered by the Moodle platform, in particular by its Quiz function which will be used for Written Exams, and by Unito’s Webex platform, with which we will go through with the identification procedure and the surveillance of the students during the exam. We will inform those who are booked for the exam via email through the Essetrè system the day before the exam. The email will contain the link to the Webex session along with the time, approximately half an hour prior to the exam starting time. By clicking on the link you’ll get access to the Webex Room for the exam. 25 is the students limit per session. Meanwhile, on Moodle, once you are enrolled to the course you’ll be able to find the Quiz on the main page of the course. 

The exam is going to last 45 minutes.

At the end of the exam, you will find a page with the option to either confirm your will to submit your test for evaluation or the option to withdraw from it. In the second case, your attempt will not be considered in the 3 tries per year that every student gets.

For the whole exam session, the student will have to remain connected to the Webex room, with their webcam on. 

The students who have enrolled but wish not to take the exam, should let the teachers know via email to help facilitate the examination procedures.

In case of abrupt disconnections from the Moodle, the system will keep your progress up until that point. 

As far as the exam questions are concerned, they will be similar to what has been previously announced on Campusnet and further explained here.

The exam will be written, with multiple choice questions, true and false questions and exercises. The multiple choice questions will evaluate the knowledge of the student, whereas the exercises will test the student’s proficiency with the tools they were provided during the course. The maximum mark is 30/30.

The exam is going to include questions from Peter Clarke’s teaching material.

The exam will be “open books”, which means you are free to use the course book and the notes at your disposal, although since time is limited you will have to come prepared and study beforehand.

We invite you to read the code of ethics of the University of Turin (you can find it at the following link https://www.unito.it/sites/default/files/allegati/01-08-2014/cod_etico_comunita_universitaria.pdf) and to maintain an appropriate conduct during the exam. You are men and women who will soon find their place in the workforce: we, as teachers, trust your qualities, which we are striving to help build and on which we are counting on.

It is in fact required the use of analytics tools and anti plagiarism softwares, to make sure the merit will be exclusive to those who deserve it. As for our rules and regulations, there will be administrative penalties for those who violate the code of conduct.

 

Usual exam 

The course grade is determined solely on the basis of a written examination. The examination (2 hours) is articulated in two parts:

- 3/4 theoretical open questions, through which verify both the knowledge about concepts and results developed in the course and the ability to use effectively the concepts and the result to solve simple case-study problems;

- some pratical and quantitative exercises, through which verify the ability of the students to apply technical financial and non financial tools to analytical business problems. 

Il voto del corso è determinato sulla base di un esame scritto. L'esame (2 ore) è articolato in due parti:

- 3/4 domande teoriche aperte, attraverso le quali viene verificata  la conoscenza dei concetti  sviluppati nel corso e la capacità di utilizzare efficacemente i concetti  per risolvere semplici problemi applicativi;

- alcuni esercizi pratici e quantitativi, attraverso i quali verificare la capacità degli studenti di applicare strumenti tecnico- finanziari e non  a problemi  analitici.
