Examination Methods

Per superare l’esame gli studenti dovranno dimostrare di:

a) possedere una sufficiente padronanza dei temi, degli strumenti concettuali, dei percorsi riflessivi presentati dai testi in bibliografia d’esame; b) possedere la capacità di ripercorrere e rielaborare in maniera sufficientemente rigorosa e soggettivata i testi in bibliografia d’esame.
Per tutti gli studenti la prova d'esame consisterà in un esame orale che verterà sull’intero programma e che esprimerà la valutazione dell’apprendimento con votazione in trentesimi. In alternativa all'esame orale gli studenti potranno produrre, previo colloquio con il docente, un elaborato scritto che verrà discusso durante il colloquio orale.
Considerata la peculiare situazione dell'erogazione della didattica gli studenti sono invitati a venire a ricevimento dal docente per un breve colloquio di orientamento all'esame.

Il ricevimento potrà avvenire in studio o su Zoom/Skype. Gli studenti possono contattare il docente via mail per concordare un appuntamento.

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