Those students who have passed the written examination should come to do the oral part of the exam with me on Wednesday 18th February starting at 09.30 in alphabetical order. I remind them that it is possible to fail the oral examination and that should this happen they will have to resit the written paper. Thus the oral exam should be properly prepared.

Those students who failed the written examination may come to see their papers on Thursday 19th February at 10.30 or at any subsequent ricevimento of mine. They should come before courses start again in March.
