Assessment methods
This course (6 CFU) is part of the integrated course "Economia, società, sistemi insediativi". If the student has the entire Integrated Course (12 CFU) in his / her study plan, the final grade will be the arithmetic average of the marks obtained in the two components ("Storia economico-sociale del Medioevo" and "Storia degli insediamenti e dei sistemi abitativi").
Evaluation criteria and degrees. The achievement by the student of a full critical knowledge of the topics taught in the course and mastery of the specific language will be evaluated with excellence marks. A mnemonic knowledge of the matter and synthesis and analysis skills articulated in a language not always appropriate will lead to discrete evaluations. Inappropriate formative and/or inappropriate language will lead to just sufficient marks. Serious formative errors, inappropriate language, lack of orientation within the bibliographic materials provided by the course will be negatively evaluated.
Teaching tools
Written and iconographic texts presented during the course.
