The test will be a conversation where two-four questions will be asked by the teacher on at least two topics of the program. The test will acknowledge: i) the rate of knowledge of medical genetics; ii) the ability of problem solving within the field of Medical Genetics; iii) the clarity of speech; iv) the appropriate scientific medical wording.

The final marks will be given according to the following criteria:

29-30 cum laude: the student has a thorough knowledge of medical genetics, can quickly and correctly understand and critically analyze the provided scenarios, solving on his/her own complex issues; has brilliant communication skills, and masters scientific medical wording.

26-28: the student has a good knowledge of medical genetics, can understand and critically and straighforwardly analyze the provided scenarios, solving almost on his/her own complex issues, and shows clearly the topics with an appropriate scientific medical wording.

22-25: the student has a discrete knowledge of medical genetics, but restricted to the main topics; can critically, but not ever straightforwardly, understand and analyze the provided scenarios, and shows somewhat clearly the topics with a discrete scientific medical wording.

18-21: the student has the minimal knowledge of medical genetics, has a modest ability of critically understanding and analyzing the provided scenarios, and shows with a sufficient clarity the topics, but a poorly developed scientific medical wording.

Failed test/examination: the student does not show the minimal knowledge of the main topics of the Course. The ability of using the scientific medical wording is very poor or absent, and cannot apply on his/her own the acquired knowledge.
