Assessment methods

Final examination consists in a study interview within which studens' abilities are valied : they will demonstrate to possess those concepts suitable to face both a discussion on the methodological development concerning this discipline and broader knowledge of how to apply methods learned. In particular students are reuqested to demostrate historical and culturali anqalysis wirhin to identify continuity and interruption conditioning archives rearrangment. With regard to this we recommend that students follow courses on history of italian institutions, modern and contemporary history.It is very imprtant that students demonstarte above all to know sone basic elemants on history of italian institutuons, reconnecting the devolopment of archives to histort of history of our country. FRom this pint of view we will not give imprtance to a mnemonic and mechanical learning in the survey but will privilege only expressive cempetence and synthesis ability.
