At the end of the workshop, students will have to produce, in relation to their thesis project and at their choice either (a) a reasoned and coherent abstract, or (b) a detailed index structured by chapters, subchapters and paragraphs, or again (c) a detailed and reasoned list of bibliography.

To allow the laboratory to run smoothly and fruitfully, students must communicate their interest in enrolling by 10 September 2023, by email to the coordinator: fabrizio.lollini@unibo.it.

To register for the exam and try the pass / fail assessment, attending students (i.e. registered by the deadline indicated here above and who will have attended at least 10 of the 15 meetings) will send the requested work to the coordinating teacher's email AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE CHOSEN EXAM.

Anyone who wishes to try the pass / fail assessment without having obtained the above mentioned requirements for those attending meetings must send to the coordinating teacher's email, in addition to the work required of everyone, also the two whose indications are present on Virtuale, always AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE CHOSEN EXAM. The result (pass / fail) will be communicated in the days immediately following the date of the exam.
