Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures in classroom.
During the lectures the general issues relating to bibliography and library
science will be discussed.
Assessment methods and criteria
The oral exam is a final evaluation of the topics covered in the lectures
and the texts listed in course bibliography.
A fail is determined by the lack of an understanding of the minimum
content of the course and/or the inability to express oneself adequately.
A pass (18-23/30) is determined by the student’s possession of the
minimum, fundamental
contents of the course. Middle-range scores (24-27/30) are assigned to
the student who produces evidence of a more than sufficient level (24-
25/30) or good level (26-27/30) in the evaluation indicators listed above.
Higher scores (from 28/30 to 30/30 cum laude) are awarded on the basis
of the student’s demonstration of a very good or excellent level in the
evaluation indicators listed above and also on the basis of the student’s
ability in making independent judgments.
