This post I'm writing only for those currently attending the first year of Sociology and SPIE and serves to give some indication to the question should go to the new system?
It must be said that the new system has its undoubted advantages, due to the decree Mussi. First, the number of examinations. Twenty in all three years, which is a big step forward (I, at the end of my first degree, I counted 57 examinations data ...). This will also help those who want to study abroad, because in this way, our system is close to the rest of Europe. In addition, the report credit-hour passes to 6 hours of lecture per credit. That means fewer hours of lessons and more time for individual study. These two factors should lead to examination programs heavier, but still reduce the fragmentation that there has certainly helped.
The critical points of this reform are to be distinguished depending on the degree course. For Sociology we had simply a rationalization of positive tests and my personal impression - we'll see if time will give me reason - is that there should be no division in the curriculum until 2009/2010 (so I hope there will cover ... ). To SPIE is a different matter. First, the course, as a whole, but most will not be called SPIE International Studies (IS). As already mentioned this course curriculum will be divided into two: one in international and European Policy Studies (SPIE) and one in Globalization, uneven development and (GDS). The first curriculum would recommend it to anyone interested in the Interfaculty Graduate Studies in Eurpoei International (SEI). Second, honestly, I have some misgivings. The topics can be interesting, but generally by specialized topics that often pay little spent on the world of work. These specialists understand, let alone a Triennial.
Personally, if I were a "sociologist" I would think seriously about the passage, if I a "spy" would see a specialist to understand that I would be interested. If I wanted to follow the SEI, I would consider the location of SPIE International Studies, and if I'm interested in issues of GDS would think in a hurry to graduate and find a specialist (which is not in Trento) that addresses these issues. For all
advise you to follow these last steps of the reform, because many of the convenience of the transition will depend on two huge factors on which there was still only a preliminary discussion.
first factor: if next year will be run only the first year of the new system, or even the second. Of course I will do everything possible to convince the Committee to Reform turn the lessons of the second year, but the real criteria, rather than the will, the resources will be available. At present it will be very difficult to be activated also during the second year. So, if so, IF YOU ARE IN ORDER WITH THE TESTS, THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW LAW COULD PROVE OFFENCE IN ANY CASE! If you are a bit behind but the speech may be different, but we must judge each case.
second factor: the conversion of credits already earned. As the ratio decreased credit-hours, you will find people who spend even more in some credit. Honestly I would avoid excessively stimulated mechanisms (which in any case I do not think will be offered). The important thing is that, overall, those who will not lose credits (at least strange combination of examination data). If you have doubts, even on cases and personal details, let me know.
