Modalità assegnazioni tesi (AGGIORNAMENTO)
Coloro che desiderano laurearsi con me come relatore, sono pregati di presentare la loro richiesta (via email o a ricevimento; nel prossimo futuro verrà stabilita una modalità automatica differente) preferibilmente ALMENO tre mesi prima per la laurea triennale e sei mesi prima per la laurea magistrale; eventuali necessità di tempistiche più brevi sono accettate previa valutazione con il docente.
Solitamente richiedo la consegna dell'elaborato finale un mese prima circa della data di discussione, in modo da avere il tempo di leggere e correggere l'elaborato e dare il tempo a voi di recepire le correzioni. Prima di consegnare la versione dell'elaborato per la correzione, il candidato è pregato di rileggere il testo, assicurarsi sia formattato secondo le linee guida fornite ed effettuare una correzione dei refusi / errori ortografici tramite gli strumenti forniti dai più comuni programmi di scrittura.
Si prega il candidato di presentare almeno un'idea approssimativa dell'argomento che vuole discutere; in caso non venisse in mente alcuna idea, il docente provvederà ad assegnare un argomento "d'ufficio" (soluzione che il docente preferisce evitare).
I tipi di elaborato accettati includono:
1) elaborazione di una breve relazione scritta (indicativamente tra le 15 e le 30 cartelle di 2200 caratteri, spazi e note inclusi).
2) In alternativa, per la LT i candidati, in accordo con il relatore possono decidere di optare per uno dei seguenti format approvati e che andranno in vigore nella coorte 2024-2026:
a. Traduzione dalla lingua triennale con nota introduttiva in italiano di un testo di lunghezza minima di tre/quattro pagine.
