The Iconography of Death (13th-15th century)

A detailed reading program to prepare for the examination will be provided at the beginning of the lessons.

Didactic methods

The course will consist of 36 hours of lessons (6 university credits) held in the classroom with the support of visual aids; pertinent field trips will also be part of the program.
The e-learning platform will include the powerpoints presented during the lessons in order to provide a large body of images and an outline useful in studying the textbooks, both for students who attend the lessons and those who do not.
For the entire academic year the lecturer or professor will receive individual students at the hours specified on the university web pages, without any need to make an appointment. Any possible changes in, or suspension of the above timetable will be promptly announced on the university website.
The course program is the same for those students who attend the lessons and those who do not, but it is advisable for the latter to contact the professor before taking the examination.

Learning assessment procedures

This will be an oral examination, during which images may be referred to.
The teaching program consists of two distinct modules for a total of 12 university credits: introductory and advanced. Students may take both module examinations in a single session or in two separate sessions. The introductory exam must always precede the advanced module exam.
