Type of delivery of the course

Classroom lectures with power point presentations and guided tours of the archaeological museums of Rome aimed at direct knowledge of Greek originals and Roman copies of Greek masterpieces.

Attendance

Attendance at lectures and participation in museum visits is not mandatory, but recommended, because it encourages discussion and strengthens critical analysis tools

Type of evaluation

Ongoing evaluations are planned to divide the preparation of the study program. Based on the number of attending students, these tests may be written or oral. In both modalities in itinere assessments will consist of tests of recognition, dating and critical discussion of works of art, selected from those commented in the lectures, in the museums visited during the course and present in the text adopted for the exam. At the end of the course there will be an oral summary exam, aimed at verifying the ability to establish relationships between concepts and topics covered.
