The examination consists of:
1. Graphic exam
- Interview aimed at
2. evaluate the graphic works carried out in the classroom
3. evaluate the exercise at the end of the year
Each of the three parts will have an impact on the final evaluation for 1/3 of the final evaluation.

In particular, the examination will consist of a graphic test lasting 4 hours and an interview in which the graphic works carried out in the classroom and the examination exercise carried out independently by the students will be evaluated.
The practical test is aimed at assessing the skills learned by the student in manual drawing and project representation, while the interview is aimed at verifying the student's learning path and his ability to represent the project.
