Teaching methods
Assessment methods
STUDENTS WITH SURNAMES BEGINNING WITH M-Z MUST TAKE THEIR
EXAME WITH PROF. CARLO DE MARIA
The exam consists of a written test that lasts one hour and is composed of 24 multiple choice questions divided in the following manner:
12 questions from the Manual and the Reader and 12 questions from texts chosen from group A and group B.
You must sign up for the exam on Almaesami.
The test is written. The maximum number students permitted is 50 for each exam session (there will be two sessions on the same day).
When you sign up for the exam, you must notify the course professor regarding the texts you have chosen by sending a signed e-mail with your name and surname to the e-mail address provided on the professor's website, indicating which texts you have chosen.
If you do not indicate the texts you have chosen, the enrolment will not be valid.
If you decide to withdraw from the exam, you must remove your name from the list to allow others to register. The enrolment closes automatically when there are 50 students signed up on the sub-list. The enrolment will close automatically one week before the date of the exam session. After this deadline it will no longer be possible to enrol. Requests addressed to professors to make exceptions will not be considered.
The criteria are described in the following table:
30 points with honours (lode) for 24 correct answers
30 points with 23 and 22 correct answers
28 points with 20 and 21 correct answers
27 points with 19 and 18 correct answers
26 points with 17 correct answers
24 points with 16 correct answers
22 points with 15 correct answers
20 points with 14 correct answers
18 points with 13 correct answers
The test must be repeated if:
in the part relating to institutions, the student has not answered at least 7 out of 12 questions correctly and at least 3 questions correctly for each chosen text.
Those who are following a former study plan and need only take one part of the exam, will be tested on the Manual and the Reader if they only have to sit contemporary institutional History, and will only bring one text from group A. If they are sitting only contemporary monographic History (where the programme is restricted to one subject/theme), they will bring one text from group B. T he exam format is comparable for these students, with a 24-question questionnaire.
To simplify the enrolment in the various exam components, you will find 3 classifications on the website:
Contemporary history A-L (cfu 9) – for those who are signing up for the 9-credit exam.
Institutional contemporary history (A-L) – for those who still have to take the 3-credit exam.
Institutional monografico history (A-L) 3 credit exam.
