Learning assessment procedures

Two alternative assessment methods are proposed, among which the student can choose.
1. "Traditional" mode:
- Production of a written text on open questions starting from the recommended texts.
2. "Step" mode:
- first step: production of a written text starting from the reflection and personal re-elaboration of the contents proposed in the classroom (in itinere);
- second step: production of a written work and a multimedia production to be presented publicly in the classroom on occasions dedicated to a topic related to the sociology of culture and which do not directly form the curricular contents of the course;
In this case, the final evaluation derives from the average of the results obtained in each test.
