Didactic methods

The working method will consist in the analysis of selected passages from the Galilean work and in the discussion, in seminar form, of the texts and themes that appear most relevant in relation to current research problems.

Learning assessment procedures

The examination will take place as an interview and will consist of the discussion of at least two topics of the program using as a basis for reflection the Galilean texts discussed in class. These texts are all included in the volume edited by Michele Camerota indicated as a reference text. For the second part, students are requested to read and learn the content of three essays uploaded in e-learning (BUCCHI, MERTON 1, MERTON 2).

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 evaluation will take into account the level of understanding of the texts and the problems they deal with, the clarity and logic of the exposition, the ability to personally rework the contents.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade is unique and will take into account all aspects of the work done by the student, at home and in the classroom.
