91686 - Seminars (A)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the seminar (whose objectives are closely related to those of the degree course) the student will have acquired a set of skills and a conceptual apparatus that will enable him/her to deal effectively with a range of linguistic and/or philological and/or literary and/or historical and/or artistic themes and problems.

Course contents

The seminar aims to familiarise students with a variety of different approaches and subject areas which are central to the teaching and research carried out by the LILEC Department's academic staff. What all these approaches and areas have in common is an inclusive vision - inclusive also from the point of view of social cohesion given a context of linguistic and cultural diversity. The seminar (whose aims are closely aligned with those of the various degree courses) is designed to help students acquire a set of skills that are highly useful when dealing with linguistic and/or philological and/or literary and/or historical themes and problems. It also aims - where possible - to establish links with possible future work situations.

Assessment methods

At the end of the seminar, in order to obtain the 3 credits, participating students are required to:

https://tinyurl.com/mrys6snb

- submit a paper (min 3000 - max. 9000 characters) on a topic related to the seminar.
The topic for the paper will be chosen after consultation with one of the seminar lecturers.
The paper (together with the MOOC certification) must be sent at least 2 weeks before registration day both to the professor in charge and to the lecturer with whom the topic was agreed. There is no examination as such: the student’s paper, once positively evaluated by the lecturer, leads directly to the award of the final credits, which will be formally transcribed on registration day.

P.S.: The format of the seminar is face-to-face. Non-attending students should contact the lecturers of the course for guidance.
