Teaching methods

In relation to the training objectives of the course, which aims to achieve the active participation of students, will be used, alternating between them, frontal lessons, participative lessons, classroom work, conducted by the teacher.

Assessment methods

The exam pursues the objective of verifying the specific knowledge acquired, the degree of critical understanding of it, any personal re-elaboration, the expressive and argumentative skills of the student. It consists of two parts: the first part, lasting one hour at the beginning of the exam, takes place in written form (open-ended questions, "short essay", commentary on a passage taken from the exam texts, referring to the general part of the program); the oral part (referring to the monographic part) will follow the written one, on the same date. The final evaluation will result from the average of the two tests.

This examination method may undergo changes in relation to health emergency conditions or overcrowding at the exams, so it is advisable to consult the notices page.
