Didactic methods

The course will be organized as a seminar and will be based on frontal lectures, class comments, laboratories and on the interpretation of recent historiographical works and of edited sources. After having acquired the historiographical framework, during the second part of the course students will be asked to work autonomously on some sources or will be divided into small groups. Once learned how to use the edited sources, students will have again the opportunity to work on some of the sources that will be seen as originals during the didactical excursions. Finally, students could write short papers autonomously or in small groups on topics related to the excursions; the results can be presented during the different trips, according to the subject.

Learning assessment procedures

The target of the final oral exam is to verify the achievement level of the final aim of this course. The oral exam will be divided into two parts: in the first part students will be asked to answer to general questions on the main topics of the Middle Ages, on the topics discussed during lectures or on topics acquired through books that might substitute the missed lectures. If the first part will be successfully concluded, in the second part questions will be asked on the books chosen by students; alternatively, students will present and discuss a paper (max. 10 pages = 20.000 signs) on a topic that will be decided in advance together with the lecturer. The paper must be sent to the lecturer at least three working days before the exam. Depending on the quality and the length of the paper, it will partially or totally substitute one of the individually chosen books.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

Concerning students of LM84, the final evaluation of the course in Medieval History, expressed in thirtieths, won’t be registered until both results of the integrated course, formed by the average marks of the two parts will be acquired. The final mark can be registered only by Prof. Maria Clara Rossi once the 12 cfu will be acquired and the recording booked by Prof Rossi’s course. For the other master students who will acquire 6 cfu, the final evaluation of the course in Medieval History will be expressed in thirtieths and will be recorded by the lecturer soon after the exam.

Double degree

The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.

Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.

The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
