Students are evaluated constantly throughout the duration of the course on the basis of the quality of their contribution to discussions on issues raised in class, reflecting the quality of work invested in reading texts or studying visual materials assigned as homework. Active participation in discussion will account for 80% of the total final grade.
At every stage of the development of their projects, students are welcome to ask me for consultations, to exchange ideas among themselves and to make use of all available resources offered by the library and obtainable via electronic media. Credit must be always given to the authors of original ideas employed by the studens either in the process of structuring his or her argumentation or in the process of writing per se. The quality of the examination paper will account for 40% of the total final grade. The quality of the papers submitted at the end of the course will be the touchstone of the student's intellectual independence.
Central in the process of evaluation is the intellectual courage to ask new questions, or to present the old ones in a new light. The ingenuity of research, however, must rely upon the discipline of thought, reflected in the composition of the paper. The discipline, combined with the boldness of exploration, will earn the students the remaining 20 % of the grade.
In short, the grade primarily depends on the student's comittment to the project; after the first meeting I am sure that everyone will score very high at the end of the day.Please, note that attendance is mandatory: one absence is acceptable, two need to be consulted.Summary:
- Active participation in discussion will account for 80% of the total final grade
- Discipline of presentation will account for 20% of the total final grade
