| Learning verification modality | The examination only includes the final oral test, which consists of a discussion/interview relating to the topics covered during the course and explored in depth in the texts and materials indicated. The test serves to ascertain the student's level of knowledge and ability to comprehend and synthesise. The interview will verify the student's ability to communicate what he/she has acquired with method, properties of language and exposition. The duration of the examination varies according to the progress of the test itself and sometimes begins with a question of the student's choice on a topic chosen by the student. In order to take the exam, it is compulsory to book the exam through the Unipg esse3 system, both for students enrolled in the course in Science for Investigation and Security and for students wishing to take the exam as an elective and therefore coming from another course of study.
