The course assessment has the following components:
1 . a short academic essay of about 2,000 words (including footnotes and a bibliography) on a topic chosen among those proposed. The paper must be uploaded on the course's e-learning platform at least one week before the day of the written test under 2.
2. a closed-book written test in class, in a session of an hour, on the scheduled dates during the exam sessions. The test consists of two concise texts answering two out of three topics.
3-a. Attending students will be assessed also on the basis of their class participation;
3-b. non-attending students should submit (by uploading it in the e-learning platform along with the paper under A) a min.500-max. 800 word report, presenting/commenting a document made available on the same platform.
The final mark will be an average of the three assessment components.
In case the closed-book test under 2 has a negative result, a student can take it again within the next exam sessions without submitting a new essay under 1 and (for non-attending students) a report under 3-b. (Ex: a negative outcome in component 2 take in the June session (either 1st or 2nd call) can be upgraded in the August-September (either 1st or 2nd call). To do it in the January-February session or later, she or he has to submit an essay on a different topic and, in case, a report on a different document.)
