Teaching methods
The course will consist of lectures (enriched by Power Point displays, download AMS Campus- Alma DL).
Attending lectures is highly recommended. Non-attending students will find the contents of the lectures in the recommended readings and bibliography.
Visits guided by the teacher: Rome.
Assessment methods
The final exam consists of an oral test.
During the oral examination, students must demonstrate to have acquired a critical understanding of the topics discussed during the course and a critical knowledge of the recommended bibliography.
In particular:
1. Those students who show developed analytical skills of selected readings and their correct contextualization within a complete vision of the issues discussed during lectures will be given a mark of excellence. Mastering of field-specific language and good expression during the examination will also be required (A =28-30 con lode).
2. Those students who show mnemonic knowledge of the subject and a superficial analysis of selected readings, as well as a correct but not always appropriate mastering of the field-specific language will be given a satisfactory mark (B = 25-27 and C = 23-24).
3. Those students who will show vague knowledge and superficial understanding of selected readings, limited analytical skills and a not always appropriate expression will be given a ‘pass’ mark roughly (D = 18-22).
4. Those students who show gaps in their knowledge and lack of familiarity with selected readings will not be given a ‘pass’ mark (E).
Who cannot attend classes must agree an alternative program with the teacher.
