The evaluation will be carried out in a single session through an oral interview in which both the study of the books in the program and any other materials proposed and the understanding of the topics explored in depth in the classroom during the lessons will be verified. During the exam, the understanding acquired by the student of the socio-cultural dynamics of the racist phenomenon and discrimination will be assessed, as well as his ability to use historical knowledge in a detailed analysis of the racist phenomenon and discrimination. Particular attention will be paid to the student's ability to connect the historical events of racism and discrimination to the overall historical picture. There are no ongoing checks. For the purposes of the final evaluation, the teacher will take into account the degree of participation in the classroom (for attending students). The ability to apply historical knowledge, together with knowledge in other disciplines, in an overall analysis of the racist phenomenon and discrimination will also be assessed. For students with DSA, whose certification is deposited with the Student Secretariat, compensatory and/or dispensatory measures are envisaged.
