The achievement of the teaching objectives is certified by passing a test that will be held at the end of the course with assessment in thirtieths. (minimum grade 18/30). The final exam (lasting about 20 minutes) includes an oral exam with questions related to the course carried out in order to verify the acquired knowledge and verify the ability to understand and explain the topics with the appropriate terminology. The student will be able to explain how the transport and logistics sectors work; understand the main problems related to transport policy; evaluate the dynamics that are investing the transport sector following the energy transition; discuss and argue, using technical language, the main themes of the Economy of Transport. |
