Teaching methods
Frontal instruction with direct involvement of students through discussions on the presented topics. A visit to the monuments of Ravenna is planned, in connection with the course content.
Students who are affected by learning disability (DSA) and in need of special strategies to compensate it, are kindly requested to contact the Teacher, in order to be referred to the colleagues in charge and get proper advice and instructions.
Assessment methods
The exam consists of an oral interview, during which the student will be asked to discuss the topics covered in class. The candidate is expected to have a proper understanding of the main issues addressed. The interview will also serve as an opportunity to assess the candidate's ability to navigate the content of the discipline.
The achievement of a comprehensive understanding of the topics covered in class, along with their critical utilization, a good command of expression and specific language, will be evaluated with excellent grades. Memorization of the material, combined with the ability to provide concise and well-analyzed responses in appropriate language, though not always precise, will result in satisfactory evaluations. Deficiencies in knowledge and/or the use of inappropriate language, even within the context of minimal understanding of the exam material, will lead to grades that do not meet the minimum requirements. Deficiencies in knowledge, inappropriate language, and a lack of orientation within the provided bibliographic materials during the course will be evaluated negatively.
It may be helpful to attend one of the public exam sessions before taking the exam.
