Teaching methods

Conventional Lessons, seminars and workshop integrated with a visit to a musems and temporary exhibitions; paper on exhibition project.

The method used is that of lectures; upon completion will be activated seminars on topics and specific issues.Active mediators, such as direct experience throught objects, visits or experiments, and iconic mediators (films, digital devices, photographs etc.) can also be used.

The approach to discipline will be supplemented with visits to exhibitions and museums.

In order, to share a participatory approach and interaction with the professor that has a positive feedbackon the expectation of the students, we will administer a questionnaire inbound, in itinere and final, to assess the feedback and calibrate the course on the real needs of boths knowledge and expectations in professional field. The questionnaire will cover both the expectations, objectives, contents and skills that the students aspire to achive, but also the minitoring of previous knowledge for the possible creation of working groups betwen students whit different skills, to try to fill gaps and respond to the concept of “problem solving” or to submit a “case-study”.

During classes students will be invited to discuss the main issues and deepen one of the favorite topics with suggested readings by the teacher; students will be required in order to verify the knowledge and application of museological tools learned, to develop and propose a project ceiling, on a topic agreed, even applying it tools and three-dimensional models for designing outfits. We recommend the frequency. At the end of the course will be given presentations in PP of the lessons, as guidelines for the preparation of the examen.

As concerns the teaching methods of this course unit, all students must attend Module 1, 2 [https://www.unibo.it/en/services-and-opportunities/health-and-assistance/health-and-safety/online-course-on-health-and-safety-in-study-and-internship-areas] on Health and Safety online, and participation in Module 3 of specific training on safety and health in the workplace. Directions on dates and how to attend Module 3 can be found in the appropriate section of the course of study and/or DiSCi website.

It is also advisable to do a curricular internship at a museum institution by contacting the same lecturer, contact person for the Cds ACMA Internship Committee, or consult the WEB Guides, under: Internships.

The frequency is recommended, in how much important to understand the complexity of the discipline and as orientation in sight of the examination.

Assessment methods

Oral examination, and to discuss one's written paper, for evaluation of the degree of theoretical knowlewdge, critical talent in the discipline, analisys of the archaeological exhibitions, museums, archaeological parks, and the museal planning talent.

Specifically, it requires knowledge of : 1 ) the theoretical and practical foundations of the discipline ; 2 ) the institution's history museum ; 3 ) the museum communication; 4 ) forms of exhibition in the archaeology field . Other aspects will be studied at the discretion of the student.

This usually consists of questions, some  pertaining to  the overview lecture part and reading,  and others related to specific topics examined in the course. The examination is intended to assess the level of knowledge and understanding gained by  students.

The assessment will thus consider the student's:
- knowledge and understanding of the topics covered;
- ability to summarise and analyse themes and concepts;
- familiarity with the terminology associated with the subject and his ability to use it effectively.

Top marks will be awarded to a student displaying an ability to provide an overall understanding of the topics discussed during the lectures, combined with a critical approach to the material and a confident and effective use of the appropriate terminology (30L/30).

Average marks will be awarded to a student who has memorized the main points of the material and is able to summarise them satisfactorily and provide an effective critical commentary, while failing to display a complete command of the appropriate terminology 8from 25 in order).

A student will be deemed to have failed the exam if he displays significant errors in his understanding and failure to grasp the overall outlines of the subject, together with a poor command of the appropriate terminology.

The exam sessions are monthly (except August) and distributed approximately between 15 and 20 of each month.

The students can enroll in the examination through the system Almaesami.

Teaching tools

To use in during to the lessons: slides projector,presentasion (PP), CD-ROM, DVD and photocopies; presentation (PP) is at students disposisional, and the technical schedule for  the final examen paper. 

They will use visual aids (video projector and direct viewing of presentations in computer graphics , CD - Rom and DVD ) , but also any paper documents to facilitate the understanding and the student's approach to the matter . At the end of the lessons we will be given presentations in PP as guidelines for the preparation of the examination and the data model to be used for the preparation of the final thesis .

All teaching materials, as well as recent additions, will be available on the Virtual platform (https://virtuale.unibo.it).
