Assessment methods and criteria

The evaluation consists in the verification that the student has acquired:
1. Course contents (with specific reference to recommended texts);
2. The ability to activate a critical and personal thought of the proposed contents;
3. The adequately argued written production capacity;
4. The ability to synthesise the thinking and argumentation of the required themes, with rich interventions also on the level of personal critical judgment


To achieve these objectives, two evaluation methods are proposed, among which the student can choose.
1. "Traditional" mode:
- Production of a text written on open questions starting from the recommended texts.

The final evaluation will be expressed in thirtieths.

2. "Step" mode mainly aimed at attending students:
- Works in the classroom with respect to the contents presented during the course of the lessons with oral presentation;
- Final group work with the creation of a formative planning project, relative to the monographic part of the course;
- Oral exam on specific parts of the program

The final evaluation, expressed in thirtieths, derives from the average of the results obtained in each test (in turn evaluated individually in thirtieths).
