Didactic methods

The classroom meetings include, in the first part, a frontal lesson enriched by slides that allow you to read and comment on texts, visual representations, original documents. In the second part, students are asked to discuss in seminar the texts that the teacher will make available in Pdf format on the online platforms well in advance.

Learning assessment procedures

During the traditional oral interview the Professor will ask the student to discuss verbally two or more topics of the programme.
International students and students that do not intend to partecipate to the lectures are kindly requested to get in contact with the Professor as soon as possible.

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

The objective of the exam consists in verifying the level of achievement of the previously indicated educational objectives. In particular, by asking the student to illustrate two or more points of the program, the teacher will evaluate the breadth and accuracy of the contents acquired by the student, the clarity and logic of the argument, the autonomy and originality of the thought. The active participation of the student in class work will be an important element of evaluation.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade is unitary and refers both to the study carried out and to the participation in class work.
