Type of delivery of the course
We will try to give students the ability to search, read and critically interpret historical sources and to deepen their knowledge by reading related historical essays, in order to provide them with methodological skills to independently develop their own research paths. There will therefore be lectures in methodological cutting and practical exercises in researching sources, discussing historiography and using tools and subsidies, including audio visual ones. Attending students will be invited to present the results of their research in class.Attendance
Frequency is not mandatory, but highly recommended because it allows students to deep more about the subject, participating in seminar activities.Type of evaluation
During the lessons there will be methods to assess the profit through the interaction between teacher and students and the elaboration and presentation in class of a paper. The final exam will be oral and will focus on three questions. For attending students one of these will be replaced by a discussion on the results of the research done during the course. For all the exam is aimed at ascertaining the skills acquired, the ability to interpret and contextualize the sources and the historiographical debates contained in the examination texts and to know how to critically process them through personal and original considerations. teacher profile teaching materials
