[mesci_xviii_students] Maths exam - December 6th, 09.00 - Room T5

[Raffaella Sisti < >]

Dear All,

This is to inform you that the Mathematics exam will take place on 
December 6th at 09.00 sharp in room T5, ground floor, building A.

I remind you that you are all expected to sit the examination and that 
in case you are unable to come you have to submit any evidence you think 
is relevant to justify your absence (i.e. if it is due to illness, you 
must inform the staff immediately and submit a doctor's certificate). 
Only in case you present these relevant evidences, you will not be 
penalised during re-sit exams that will be taken in the first 10 days/2 
weeks of July (first and second semester).

For those of you who are not familiar with the Italian university 
system, I have prepared some instructions/information:

During the exams:

Please do not forget:
-  To bring a pen (not pencils that are allowed only for graphics), a 
calculating machine (if allowed by the professor) and a clock (if you 
feel it necessary) and note that this is all you may need. (All other 
objects, including books, dictionaries, electronic items and, of course, 
MOBILE PHONES, will NOT be allowed. It is an offence to simply carry a 
switched on mobile phone into the examination classroom as it could be 
used to cheat. A phone can also cause a disturbance during the 
examination and this is unfair to your fellow students.)
-  To go to the toilet before the exam (there will be no break and no 
possibility to leave the room during the exam)


Grading system

According to the Italian grading system, exams are graded in a scale out 
of 30 where 18 is the minimum passing grade. A cum laude could be added 
for excellent performance, but please note that this will not add any 
point to you average.

According to MESCI/MU rules, the minimum passing grade for every module 
is 18/30, where the grade of the module is the average of all exams 
included in it. In case you fail an exam, you MUST repeat it if the 
grade of the module is below than 18/30, but you CANNOT repeat it if the 
grade of the module is above than 18/30.


Should you need any further clarification, do not hesitate to contact me.

Ciao,

Raffaella
