Type of delivery of the course
We will try to make students acquire the ability to read and critically interpret historical essays and to deepen its historiographical debates, in order to provide them with methodological expertise to independently develop their own research paths, scientifically analysing the sources and the relative historiography. There will then be held methodological lessons and practical research exercises, discussion of the historiography and use of tools and aids.Attendance
Attendance is optional, but it is strongly recommended for the seminar method of the course, which involves the active participation of students.Type of evaluation
A final oral exam is scheduled, but 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.
