Examination Methods

Students will be assessed differently according to their status as attending or non-attending students. Students who attend the course will be assessed through an intermediate and a final exam: 1. The intermediate exam consists in a group-work analyses of the structure, M&A activity and performance of a group of companies assigned by the lecturers. The intermediate exam consists in the drafting of a report of around 15-20 pages (word or pdf), which is due towards the end of the course and shall be sent by e-mail, and a 3-slide presentation to be discussed in classroom (around 10 minutes per group). The group-work aims at assessing the capability acquired in performing and discussing a meaningful group analysis, both at a technical and an interpretive level. Furthermore, the capabilities will be assessed, both individually and collectively, in making judgments on the group performance, in communicating with the group members and in written and oral communications. The group-work will provide students with maximum 2 points. 2. The final exam consists in an individual written test on the whole program and aimed at assessing the knowledge of the topics studied during the course and the capability of solving some case-studies. The written exam is structured into three parts: the first part includes 5 multiple-choice or true/false questions; the second part includes 3 semi-open questions and may include case analysis; the third part includes 2 numerical exercises, of which one focused on the consolidated financial statement. The exam lasts 90 minutes and will provide students with maximum 30/30 points. The final mark is obtained by the sum of the two partial points. Students who do not attend the course will be assessed through a final exam consisting in an individual written test on the whole program and aimed at assessing the knowledge of the topics studied during the course and the capability of solving some case-studies. The written exam is structured into three parts: the first part includes 5 multiple-choice or true/false questions; the second part includes 3 semi-open questions and may include case analysis; the third part includes 2 numerical exercises, of which one focused on the consolidated financial statement.
