Assessment Methods

Verification of learning:

Final oral exam.
The exam is aimed to verifying the learning of the discipline theoretical aspects (topics debated in the lectures and in the texts related to the program) and the acquisition of practical (reconstruction of temporal and cultural sequences) and communicative (description of sites, monuments and artifacts) skills.
The student's ability to express through the use of the Italian language, the application of specific and appropriate terminology, the ability to state concepts and ideas through the logical-syntactic organization of the speech, are part of evaluating, too.
The exam will take place through a series of questions on the program, from three to five, depending on the complexity of the topics debated.
