Teaching methods

The course is organized in lectures and seminars, as detailed in the following program. Lectures (16 hours) aim to introduce students to the core tenets of the discipline. Seminars (12) aim to provide occasions for in-depth discussions of class materials and exercises. For the seminar section of the course, students will be divided in 2 groups.

Assessment methods

Regularly attending students:

In order to be considered an attending student, it is necessary to attend 80% of the lectures, to make a presentation and in-depth study of a paper as well as all the in-depth activities that the lecturer will propose during the course.

- The final grade will be the result of a series of partial tests, the content and characteristics of which are given below.

- Presentation of a paper agreed with the lecturer, participation and discussion in the classroom during all the lessons (these activities will contribute 30% of the final grade).

- Preparation of an in-depth written thematic paper related to a topic of the course agreed with the lecturer during the course and to be sent to the lecturer no later than 5 January 2023 (The grade obtained will contribute to 30%).

- Oral discussion of the course content (The grade obtained will contribute to 40% of the final grade).


- NON-attending students:

Non-attending students will have to take an oral test relating to the texts indicated in the bibliography for non-attending students.

(The grade obtained will contribute to 55% of the final grade).

Furthermore, during the oral test, the student will have to discuss a paper capable of presenting in an analytical and critical way the texts chosen for the monographic part.

The paper must be sent by e-mail to the lecturer 10 days before the roll call.

The paper must have a maximum length of 30,000 characters, must contain an abstract, 5 key words and must be complete with reference bibliography.

(The grade obtained will contribute to 45% of the final grade).



The aim of the final examination is to verify the student's ability to apply the notions and knowledge acquired and to make the necessary logical-deductive connections. The grading of the final grade is based on the following criteria:

- Insufficiency: not even approximate or incorrect knowledge of the subject, insufficient expository capacity and use of appropriate vocabulary;

- Preparation on a very limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to analyse that only emerges with the help of the lecturer, expression in language that is correct overall: grade 18-19;

- Preparation on a limited number of topics covered in the course and ability to analyse independently only on purely executive matters, expression in correct language: grade 20-24;

- Preparation on a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make autonomous choices of critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology: grade 25-29;

- Substantially comprehensive preparation on the topics addressed in the course, ability to make autonomous choices of critical analysis and linking, full mastery of specific terminology and ability to argue and self-reflect: grade 30-30L.

Teaching tools

Throughout the course, students will be provided with supplementary teaching materials (texts, Italian and foreign essays, research reports, etc.) that are useful for deepening specific topics related to the programme.

The virtual platform will be used as a support for organising the course, drawing up the timetable and sharing the in-depth materials cited in the classroom.
