Assessment methods

Verification of research and argumentation skills through the seminar character of the lessons. These lessons may include an evaluation of the class presentation of a paper on the assigned topic and its discussion with the participation of other students. This paper may consist of an individual research or an exercise on material provided by the teacher; it will not be an element for the final evaluation. Final examination in oral form.
The program of the Course, which develops, as normally all master classes, on a seminar basis, also provides alternative possibilities for students who do not attend, who must contact the teacher to agree on the specific contents of their preparation.
