Teaching methods
Lectures with discussion
Assessment methods
Short essay, to be defined together with the lecturer.
The essay is to concern a problem connected with the programme of the course, though not necessarily about the issues covered by the lectures.
The choice of the theme implies a preliminary overview of the quality and quantity of adequate bibliographic material.
No particular dimension is expected - even less defined in terms of pages or characters. On the other hand, knowledge of the main sources of the debate is essential.
The work will have to be submitted to the lecturer for approval in its subsequent stages, in order to elicit amendments and/or radical changes.
