Further optional reading will be suggested during the course and will be available on the TEAMS platform. Students who do not attend classes are required to prepare the same program, but the study of F. Tomasi’s textbook, Medologie informatiche e discipline umanistiche (Carocci 2008) is compulsory.
Teaching Methods Lectures will be held via Microsoft Teams due to the current pandemic situation. Laboratory seminars are expected. Lectures will be recorded and available until February 2022 on the Course’s Team. Likewise, the course materials will be available on the platform.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The exam consists of an oral test to verify the knowledge acquired. The final score, out of 30, will be based on an oral talk on the course’s theme (or, for who do not attends the course, on F. Tomasi’s textbook) and on the books/essays of the course’s bibliography. Athough it is not obligatory, students who attend the courses can present their own works made during the course.
Grades table:
Contacts/More Information The course is held in the second semester. Students who do not attend classes and students with specific needs are required to contact the lecturer before the exam (emmanuela.carbe@unich.it , or via Teams). The professor is available to attend and non-attending students for individual sessions (by appointment) for any technical problems that may arise during the laboratory seminars.
