Assessment methods

Each seminar offers 0.5 CFU, therefore, to obtain the recognition of the 6 credits of the "Seminars" teaching activity, students must attend no less than 12 meetings among those proposed here (to which others will be added in the coming weeks) or even meetings offered by other Master Degree of the University of Bologna, upon request for authorization from Prof. Magnani (e.magnani@unibo.it).


All seminars might be attended online or in presence. At each seminar, students must ask the professors who is present in the classroom to sign the form"Modulo frequenza seminari", which can be dowloaded from the course teaching materials on Virtuale.unibo.it. In the case of meetings held online, some screenshots of those present will be made in order to verify the actual attendance.


For the evaluation of the "Seminars" teaching activity and the recognition of the "Idoneità", students must prepare a short essay - of around 20.000 characters - in which they will reflect on at least 2 of the topics proposed during the meetings, highlighting connections or critical issues and reporting perspectives and examples presented by the guests.


This essay must be sent to Prof. Magnani by email, who will evaluate it and record, in the event of a favorable outcome, the "idoneità" of the activity.
