The Reform Committee is, precisely, the group designated to propose solutions to the Faculty Council for a successful implementation of the reform. This Committee is composed of:
- from the Joint Committee on Education: composed of the President (until November that is still the prof. Diani), two professors (Prof. Blanco and prof. Cobalt) and three students ( I Sorina Toezser and Elizabeth Taddeo)
- 7 by the Presidents of the Councils of Degree (Sociology, SPIE, SS, LOSI, STA, SRS, MOSS)
- and the director of the graduate faculty of inter-SIX (Prof. Brunazzo).
the agenda was the amendment to the academic regulations.
The debate lasted for hours, so I avoid to sum it all up. Rather than point out the most important novelties introduced.
Access to Bachelor's degree and advanced degrees from next year. reform as a mandatory test that "monitor" the predisposition of the student for the course selected studies and basic requirements. If these requirements were not there, you can still register and attend. It is understood, however, that if we create exceptionally high criteria, this test becomes, in effect, a kind of entrance test. Luckily no one was not going to use this trick. And the criteria were very affordable.
For three years - Social Services, being a "number" is chiaremente excluded from them. Sociology for it requires knowledge of the major computer software writing, computing and internet and English (level A2). International Studies, in addition to computer programs, requires a level B1. If these requirements there must be made up during the course of studies, taking advantage of free courses offered by the University.
consideration - even now, to attend the course "Cell sociology" of the first year of the triennial, B1 is required, so ...
For specialist - to avoid the test, it was decided to consider a vote of three-year degree. Someone wanted a quota 90 (no double political sense of course ...), someone else 100, others thought to set a separate quota for the degree course. The decision is still pending. It will decide in the coming days, probably the solution will be found "in half. "However, a few days before the Committee, having already had hints on this proposal, I'm aware. Over the past three years to go out with less than 90 were really few. The share but now seems more likely is 95. Below this level there would be 25% of the students. One out of four, to register for the specialist, would be forced to attend an interview with the chairman of the degree course. It would not be a drama seen, but personally I do not understand why a ' Any other selection as the first degree is in itself, a selection in the pipeline. The next committee (19.6) 90 caldeggierò share and see what comes out ...
in addition there the proposed site - which we already had to speak during this Committee, but then, because ristrezza times, was moved to the next - a different calculation of the grade earned. This at worst irrelevant to the highest votes, but would raise the lowest. Next week I'll try to inform me what would the other thresholds theorized.
Final Exam - On this there will be wide "battle" in the next Committee, as one of the proposals in the documents sent to us a few days ago, is that the final examination of three years to become an issue as all other . You choose a speaker, do the thesis, and he will deliver it to him assigns a rating of thirty that makes media with others. Represented to us that we were there, it seemed like a great stupidagine unanimously, useful only to eliminate the embarrassing habit of many teachers, not to read the arguments presented. However, the only decision on this issue is for those who decide to take the written examination, in place of the thesis. This mode is of degree, but after the theme, there will also be supported with an oral examination. This innovation, which is a compromise between those who wanted to abolish this mode and those who wanted to keep it, I think it's positive, as a matter of fairness between the two modes of the thesis. It will be useful to stop the proposal for a final exam that I described before (can you imagine if at the end of games, you should add to equity, the oral mode in the second and then it took off for the first? I think / hope that will not happen ...).
Finally: we close with good news. We are working in the new system, there is explicit reference to the balance of workload between semesters. This means that there will be a half with 20 compulsory courses and one with 4, but will need to be calibrated. Good, no?
