Type of delivery of the course

Lectures, workshops and site visits.

Attendance

Attendance is not mandatory but highly recommended. A specific program is dedicated to non-attending students.

Type of evaluation

For students attending the course, the exam takes place also "in itinere" with the oral presentation of a group work on a selected text within the teaching activity (10 %) and, in conclusion of the course, with an oral exam that assesses the knowledge and understanding of the texts adopted, as well as that of the contributions analyzed during the lessons and made available on the teacher's bulletin board. For non-attending students, the exam takes place through an oral exam that examines the degree of knowledge and understanding of the texts adopted, even those specifically indicated for "non-attending". The rating scale is 30/30. Evaluation elements are: 1) the depth and breadth of the knowledge acquired; 2) the ownership of language and the mastery of the sector vocabulary; 3) the ability to critically link issues and problems addressed.
