The exercises are loaded in correspondence of the lessons and are to be considered self-report nature; they have no value for the purpose of admission to the examination and should not be delivered to the tutor. Instead, the exercises have the objective of verifying what are the shortcomings of the student throughout the study of a particular subject. Once identified the gaps to be bridged, the student can contact the tutor who will implement training programs through virtual classrooms, chat and forums, in order to improve the student’s preparation.
