The final examination consists of a single oral interview with a score in the range 18-30/30 cum laude. There will be a single oral interview for both modules of the course which comprises the discussion of various topics covered in the course, with an emphasis also on the connections between concepts and processes, such as to arrive at a critical evaluation of work from the point of view of sustainability of industrial water use as a whole.

The oral interview is structured in:
• a first part in which the student will expose, by means of presentation with slides, the results of an assignment involving the critical analysis of a case study (duration of the presentation 10-15 min); in this part, the ability to critically understand, expose and communicate a scientific text will be evaluated;
• a second part of discussion, with 2-4 questions, on the topics covered by the two modules of the course (duration of 20-30 min); in this part the degree of knowledge acquired and the ability to apply the interpretative tools acquired will be evaluated.
The evaluation will award a maximum total score of 30/30: a maximum of 10/30 for the first part of presentation and 20/30 for the second part of program questions, the latter is subdivided into 10/30 for questions related to the first module and 10/30 for questions related to the second module.

Grade < 18
Knowledge and Understanding: The student only partially identifies the characteristics of the concepts. The
connections between the concepts are fragmented and poorly supported by theoretical knowledge.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student identifies only a few relevant elements in a
phenomenon, unable to integrate them into a coherent analysis.
Communication and Argumentation Skills: In the oral exam, the student develops a basic argument, lacking logical
structure and characterized by numerous expository inaccuracies.
Learning, self-assessment, and self-regulation skills: The student is able to reconstruct only some aspects of their
learning and professional development journey.

Grade 18-22
Knowledge and Understanding: The student recognizes and explains most of the conceptual features and is able to
provide a relatively coherent explanation, albeit with some inaccuracies. Theoretical references are present but not
always rigorously.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student is able to recognize a significant number of elements
and provide a partial explanation, while highlighting some gaps in the analysis.
Communication and argumentation skills: In the oral exam, the student constructs a basic argument, with a minimal
structure but with some inaccuracies.
Learning, self-assessment, and self-regulation skills: The student demonstrates a basic awareness of their learning
path, managing to draw essential connections between learning experiences, albeit with some inaccuracies.

Grade 23-27
Knowledge and Understanding: The student demonstrates a thorough understanding of conceptual characteristics.
In the oral exam, explanations are well-articulated and supported by an appropriate use of theoretical references.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student accurately identifies the essential elements of a
phenomenon. The application of knowledge occurs with methodological rigor that is not always solid.
Communication and argumentation skills: In the oral exam, the student develops a coherent and well-organized
argument, demonstrating good command of language and a solid logical-argumentative structure. Communication
is clear and effective.
Learning, self-assessment, and self-regulation skills: The student analyzes his or her learning journey in a clear
and structured manner, highlighting significant relationships between the various developmental stages and
demonstrating a good capacity for critical reflection.

Grade 28-30
Knowledge and Understanding: The student demonstrates a thorough mastery of concepts, articulating complex
connections and providing comprehensive explanations. Theoretical references are used with relevance and rigor.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student demonstrates an advanced ability to analyze a
phenomenon, comprehensively identifying and interpreting all salient elements. Knowledge is applied with
methodological rigor, supported by solid and detailed argumentation.
Communication and argumentation skills: In the oral exam, the student develops a solid and detailed argument,
with a rigorous logical structure and a high level of textual coherence. The presentation is fluent and well-
structured.
Learning, self-assessment, and self-regulation skills: The student demonstrates an advanced capacity for self-
reflection, developing a detailed and in-depth analysis of their learning and professional development journey. The
connections between learning experiences and theoretical concepts are clear, coherent, and rigorous.
