Programme

For bureaucratic-administrative reasons, the course is divided into two modules of 6 CFU each. Despite this, the lectures will follow a thematic course common to both modules. The topics of the books in the second module (Berlusconism and one of the countries of your choice) will in fact already be addressed in the lectures on the first module. In short, the distinction is purely bureaucratic and not one of content. Attendance is therefore recommended to all for the entire duration of the course, regardless of the number of Cfu to be recorded.

For MODULE ONE the following topics should be taken with the following texts.

Type of delivery of the course

Lessons in Room B

Type of evaluation

The exam is divided into two parts, one written and one oral (which takes place a few days later, following the correction of the written). The written part of the exam is on the books common to all: L'Europa del Novecento by Leonardo Rapone and L'Italia populista by Marco Tarchi. The oral part is on the rest (which changes depending on your choices and the number of cfu you register) . Therefore, those who register 6 cfu and take module 1 will do the oral part of the exam on one of the topics chosen for module 1; those who register 12 cfu will do the oral part of the exam on the topic chosen for module 1 + Berlusconism and the Country chosen for module 2. The written part of the examination consists of 25 closed-ended questions. These are not notion questions (Who? What? When?) but questions on concepts and reasoning (Why? How? What characteristics does a certain phenomenon have? etc.). In the multiple answers, alternative reasoning will therefore be proposed, one of which will be the right one. The total time is 25 minutes (which will easily become 30 minutes between entrances and various things). The written test constitutes a first part of the grade that will then be defined and refined during the oral part. The written part takes place in the Piazza Telematica, Via Ostiense 133b, building D. The oral part takes place in my studio 2-3 days later (or even on the same day: it depends on how many people are enrolled and how much time is needed to correct the written part) When the bookings are closed (i.e. about 4 days before each call) I will send all those enrolled an e-mail in which I will indicate precisely any shifts and times of the written part as well as the day and time of the oral part.
