Modalità Valutazione
The exam is oral with written practice on bibliographic citations: 4 citations (monograph, contribution in monograph, journal article, web page) in the same style of your choice. Non-attenders are advised to view the materials provided on the course Moodle channel to practice and arrive at the exam sufficiently prepared. For frequent attendees: frequent attendees have the option of taking up to two exemptions, a project work to be discussed in class on the in-depth topics (grade in tenths) and a written test with open-ended questions to be taken at the end of the lectures on the topics of the textbook (grade in thirtieths). In case both exonerations are successfully taken, it will suffice to complete the bibliographic exercise at the appeal. In case only one of the two exonerations is taken, the oral examination will supplement the missing part of the syllabus (textbook or book of choice). There will also be a written multiple-choice test on the way but the outcome will not be calculated for the final exam.
