The “rules of the game” of the course are the following. First of all the course requires your active role in the discussion<\/strong> of the seminars. What I mean is that you make direct questions to the speakers during the seminars. Moreover, each student must write one extended Review Report (RR) for one of the paper presented<\/strong>. The RR should be articulated as follow: i) discuss context and research questions; ii) assess source, historical material and data; iii) provide a discussion of approach and methods; iv) suggest improvements and refinements for the analysis. Finally, all students have to organize themselves in groups (2 students, max 3) and prepare an Economic History Research Project (RP)<\/strong> which must contain: i) a well-defined research question; ii) sources to be used; iii) methods; iv) conclusions.<\/p>\n

Final evaluation will be based on class participation (25%) and on the quality of RRs (25%) and RP (50%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
