Tests
The test will be composed of one numerical exercise and one theory question. You can reply in Italian. If you want to use English, then your written English must be good. If I do not understand what you wrote, I will consider it as wrong.
To receive your official and final grade, you need to pass also the other part of the course of Financial Economics, taught by Piergiovanna Natale. When you sign up for the part taught by Prof. Natale, also sign up for Financial Economics. Once you have done that, and passed the two parts, your result will be officially reported in the system.
Erasmus students can take DAPT as a standalone course. In this case, they just need to sign up for DAPT through the University system.
