Method:
Normally the course requires a final oral assessment (exam) of the contents acquired by the students.
However, in order to facilitate students attending classes , at the end of the course, is scheduled a written exam (test of about 32 questions and 4 items per question) on the first two books of the reading list (A e B).
Only students who reach a mark of at least 18/30 pass the test.
The mark obtained is valid till February 2023.
The written test takes place only once a year and it is oriented to verify the acquisition of the specific concepts and lemmas of sociology
of cultural processes.
Those who pass the written test must support a further oral examination on the remaining part of the program (letter C of bibliography). The second oral assesment (exam) will be held in the ordinary calls of June, July, September 2022 and the months of January and February 2023.
The oral exam is oriented to evaluate the student's ability to present theoretical arguments on the concept of culture and on the cultural processes taking place in Western societies, with particular reference to the period transition between modernity and postmodernity.
Who doesn’t take or pass the first written exam, presents the whole program at the oral exams that take place in the normal sessions.
Those who do not complete the examination procedure (the oral exam on the second part of the program) before February 2021 must take the exam on the whole syllabus in oral form.
Who won't take the written test must present the whole syllabus in the ordinary exams in June, July, September, January, February.
