Modalità Erogazione
As for the first part (36 hours), the course will be conducted mainly through frontal lecture. In the second part (18 hours), in addition to the frontal lecture, the method of discussion, case study, and the use of visual materials will also be used Use of the Formonline platform for uploading and communicating additional supporting materials. Use of the Teams platform for individual and group activities. In the case of a renewed situation of health emergency from COVID-19, all provisions regulating the manner in which teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented. In particular, distance learning lessons will be provided through the "Teams" platform.Modalità Frequenza
Attendance, while optional, remains strongly recommendedModalità Valutazione
The final evaluation will consist of an oral exam, during which the student will be subjected to several questions (at least three) assessing their ability to recognize the main doctrines of the authors, classify texts and authors within a certain philosophical tradition, and establish the contents present in a text. During the exam, the instructor will assess whether the student is capable of going beyond a mere mnemonic presentation of what has been taught, presenting a text in a personal manner and combining the effectiveness of exposition with the ability to express themselves using the language specific to philosophy. To achieve the final evaluation, a single test covering the entire program will be administered, allowing the student to range across topics, propose connections, offer relevant comparisons between texts, and provide broad critical observations. The evaluation will differentiate between insufficient (1-17) and sufficient evaluations. An insufficient evaluation will be given if the majority of answers are missing or contain significant gaps or errors. Within the sufficient evaluations, a range from 18 to 30 will be proposed. Grades from 28 to 30 represent the optimal evaluation, where the distinction is justified by a lesser effectiveness on non-substantial elements of the response, concerning the elaboration of discourse, the ability to argue, and the rendering of content. In cases where the student demonstrates not only optimal achievement of objectives but also a particular ability in articulating philosophical discourse, a "30/30" grade will be awarded with honors.
