Learning objectives
Students
completing this subject will become familiar with the issues that affected the creation
of literary and technical texts
in the Roman world, their transmission to the present
day and publication in modern critical editions.
Methodology
Given the technical nature of
this subject, students are
expected to be able to learn most
of the theory content by consulting images and
summarized information provided in an electronic
dossier, although this will be discussed
and further illustrated in class. Students will also learn some of the
theory by reading specified reference texts and articles and writing corresponding reports.
The application of acquired knowledge is
also an essential part of the subject, and this is carried out in various practical exercises.
Continuous assessment
The assessment of
each student's learning and progress will take into account class attendance, the advantage taken of personal tutorials, the evaluation of exercises prepared independently by the student and
discussed in class, and the
written reports and exercises the student produces
on both theoretical and practical elements of the subject.
