Teaching methods
The course is organized in 15 sessions of 2 hours each. Approximately every 5 hours of lectures, one is dedicated to discussing the topics covered (seminar). Participation to such sessions is strongly recomended as it is an integral part of the teaching and assessment process.
A session will be dedicated to a visit to the Archaeological Museum in Bologna.
Assessment methods
Assessment will include an oral examination, a brief presentation of a group-work agreed with the teacher during the course and, in the case of students non-attending, the realization of a written essay to be agreed with the course organiser (contacting him at least 4 weeks in advance). The essay must be delivered to the course organiser via email at least 3 weeks before the scheduled exam date.
Teaching tools
Powerpoint presentations will be available on the "Insegnamenti online" platform.
Students who require specific services and adaptations to teaching activities due to a disability or specific learning disorders (SLD), must first contact the appropriate office: https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students .
