%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% %%% AUTOMATED REASONING AND FORMAL VERIFICATION %%% AA 2024-2025 AND ONWARD: %%% SOME NOTES ABOUT EXAM ORGANIZATION & RULES %%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The exam organization and rules are described in detail in the SYLLABUS of the course. We invite the students to read it carefully before reading this document. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTEWORTHY EXCEPTION: Ad hoc exam rules and modalities can be arranged for students with disabilities, handicaps, dyslexia or any other legally-recognized impairment or disorder. These situations will be handled case-by-case, in compliance with the Italian law. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here we add a few extra notes and clarifications. %%% SOME FACULTY REGULATIONS %%% (FOR ALL COURSES' EXAMS, NOT ONLY FOR THIS ONE) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [This is an informal extract from the faculty regulations. See the full text of the regulations for clarifications or a more precise description, or ask the secretary offices. ] * There will be 5 sessions of the exam, in accordance with the official calendar: - two in January/February, - two in June/July, - one in September. NO EXTRA EXAM SESSION CAN BE HELD OUTSIDE THE OFFICIAL DATES, NEITHER IN PUBLIC NOR IN PRIVATE FORM. * If a student does not pass the exam within the 5 sessions, he/she will have to rely on next-year's course organization (possibly with different rules) * To be admitted at the exam at a given session, each student is mandatorily supposed to register on esse3 (https://www.esse3.unitn.it) for such session. * To be admitted at the exam, each student is mandatorily supposed to present a valid Identification Document (Passport, Carta d'Identita', student's card ...) with NAME, SURNAME and PHOTOGRAPH. No student is admitted to the exam without such an I.D. (To this extent, we recall that, by Italian law, impersonation at official events is a crime, and as such any attempt of impersonation at an exam will be reported to the police.) * To be be admitted at the exam, each student must be present ON TIME. %%% SOME MORE REMARKS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The only way to obtain credit from this course(s) is passing the exam. No extra activities (e.g. projects, homeworks, ...) are envisaged. Votes are not subject to discussion or negotiation. No external factor or circumstance will be considered to raise the vote of an evaluation, to make exceptions to the criteria above (with the noteworthy exception reported above), or to provide extra exam sessions. E.g., this includes (but is not limited to) the following potential circumstances for the student: - high number of previous attempts, - advanced matriculation year, - sickness, - family constraints, - work constraints, - sport constraints, - family difficulties, - economical difficulties, - possible loss of grants, - possible loss of "stay permit" ("permesso di soggiorno") - already-scheduled flights or traveling, - military status, - natural/political calamities in the student's country, - ... We understand that this may look insensitive wrt. possible problems of the student. Nevertheless, we enforce the principle that the exam is an evaluation of the status of the student's knowledge, and no other factor or circumstance can influence its outcome.
