Course syllabus
In the era of the "on-demand approach" to everything, and in particular to communication, each student can choose a textbook and a free reading from among those listed in the italian section, depending on his or her inclination and interests in a university career. Obviously, the lecturer is available to 'guide' the choice after an interview (also by e-mail) with the students, also to weigh the weight of the readings (not all books have to be read in full).

Assessment methods and Criteria
A student who attends at least 75% of the lectures is considered to be attending.

The assessment test is oral and consists of a series of questions designed to ascertain the student's knowledge of the topics covered in the lectures (for those attending) and contained in the textbooks. The questions will focus on general topics, and it will be up to the student to demonstrate the degree of detail he/she is able to achieve in the answer. Elements that contribute to the assessment include detailed knowledge of the content of the texts on the syllabus, ownership of language and, above all, the ability to organise information - also deriving from different sources - into articulate answers that demonstrate critical and argumentative capacity.

An examination in which the student demonstrates the ability to critically discuss, with appropriate language, the topics covered in the lessons and in the examination texts will result in a grade of excellent/excellent.

An examination in which the student demonstrates the ability to synthesise the topics covered in the lectures and examination texts in acceptable language will result in a pass/good grade.

An examination in which the student demonstrates limited knowledge of the topics covered in the lectures and examination texts, expressing himself/herself in inappropriate language, will result in a failing grade.
