Eligibility for exams

Loses the frequency the student that misses more than a quarter of practical classes, or do not perform satisfactorily two thirds of the work of a laboratory.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final ranking will result from the sum of the evaluation obtained in theoretical and practical components: the theoretical component, with weight of 80%, will be assessed through a written test, while the practical part with weight of 20%, will be evaluated by means of two components, a report, called the "Wine diary", where the student must register the sensory analysis of all wines tasted in the class period (15%) and the performance of practical classes (5%).

The final mark is obtained by the formula:

Final Mark = (T x 80 % + D x 15 % + A x 5 %)

T - The classification obtained in the test. (It will be admitted to test the students who have successfully attended 3/4 of practical classes and delivered the “Wine diary”).

D - Classification of WINE DIARY (Compulsory to deliver it until the test day – normal season).


A - Classification obtained in the practical classes.

Approval in the discipline is subject to obtaining a FINAL NOTE > = 9.5 values and a minimum rating of 8.0 values in all the parcels (T, D and A).

Examinations or Special Assignments

WINE DIARY:
1. All students must have a "Wine-Diary", which will be one of the elements of evaluation at the end of the semester.
2. In the "Wine diary” must be described all wines tasted in classes as mainly out of them.
3. Records required in the "Wine diary": wine brand, type of wine, the region of production, cost (if possible the retail cost) and the overall evaluation, and eventual comments.
4. The "Wine diary" will serve also as indicative of student enthusiasm for wine and its quality, as well as to serve train proof in circumstances more relaxed, in which the taster is not under pressure.
5. (Compulsory to deliver it until the test day – normal season).

Classification improvement

The improvement of the grade can be made independently on any of the components of the assessment: T, R and P. For improvement of R is required the presentation of new work and P is the frequency of lessons pruning practices.
