HISTORICAL WRITING WORKSHOP

The Workshops, together with formative and orientation Internships, concur to provide the students with helpful knowledge to access the job market.
They are based on participatory and interactive teaching, aiming at strengthening the students' transferable skills: for this reason, attendance is strongly recommended and the ideal number of participants is limited to 20-25 people. Students must contact the professors to register his/her attendance before the beginning of the Workshop.
The Workshops don’t have a final exam but the achievement of a qualification ('idoneità', corresponding to 3 credits) which will be granted at the end of the course on the basis of the activity carried out by the students. The students who have attended the course but haven't obtained the qualification can, under exceptional circumstances, obtain it in subsequent exam sessions by making a request to the professor, who will decide on a case-by-case basis.

The goals of the Workshop are:
- to gain confidence with the structure of the argumentative text;
- to become familiar with the different historical writing practices and styles;
- to improve writing skills in order to apply them to various working contexts.

Knowledge of Italian language.

The Workshop will be mostly focused on the analysis of the following kinds of writing:
- the book review;
- the research paper (including notes and bibliography);
- the popular article;
- the abstract;
- the project proposal;
- the slide presentation.

There are no referral texts. Some readings will be made available on Moodle.

The Workshop doesn’t have a final exam but the achievement of a qualification (‘idoneità’).
Attendance, participation, and results will be constantly monitored. There will be a final report for each student.
The achievement of the 3 credits is conditioned to the completion of all tasks and assignments.
Active participation to all the phases of the Workshop is required.

Short introductory lessons in seminar form; writing practical activities; class discussions. All the classes will be interactive.
