The examination, in the form of an oral interview, will focus on the discussion of the topics covered in the course of the lectures; in particular, the following will be assessed: 1) an appropriate use of the specific language; 2) the ability to synthesise and analyse the topics covered during the course; 3) knowledge of the bibliography indicated in the lectures. The achievement of a critical view of the topics addressed and the mastery of the specific language will be assessed with marks of excellence (29-30 cum laude). A knowledge of the subject matter and the use of correct but not always appropriate language will lead to fair marks (25-28). Minimal knowledge of the subject matter and inappropriate language will lead to barely sufficient marks (18-24). Where serious gaps emerge, the result of the examination will be graded negatively.
