Lectures; Course Readings.

Written exam. The assessment relates to:
— students' integration and understanding of the theoretical concepts studied during the course;
— their ability to understand and summarise the essential hypotheses put forward in the articles included in the Course Readings.

The certificative asessment of this module consists of a single exam. It is therefore not possible to transfer any part of the grade.

Students resitting the exam for this course in 2018-19 will be assessed on the course material of the current year, i.e. 2018-19.
