What a mess .... it will be because the Reformation!

I know: the song recited otherwise entitled. Moreover, in August, better than a confusion of loving a university (less suited to the holidays and the summer sun). Yet from the mail received in recent days, the impression is that the ongoing reforms in several doubts persist. So I decided to add a post clarifying the frequently asked questions. Of course, if in doubt, write (a.lamalfa @ yahoo.it): I will answer willingly.

FOR THREE YEARS IN DOUBT

But what should I do? Pass or not pass?
Switch to the new system or continue with the old is a personal choice: everyone decide according to conscience and preferences. I can only tell you what it takes for your college career choice, rather than another.
tend, as the activation of the second year of Sociology and lights (but not social services) who has completed the first year in these two three-year courses could take advantage of a good transition to the new system. This has given is that all matters, whether it has given only the basic exams, leaving behind small children. More than highly recommended, however, if the student in question has given a few tests. A
who has completed the second year and is in good standing, agree to continue ending with the old system. More intermediaries, the situation of those in the second year and has recovered from exams: you should carefully consider the criteria for conversion. These are available on the website of the faculty criteria for Sociology and International Studies (former Lights).

FOR THREE YEARS THAT WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE OLD ORDER

am a member of a three-year and would like to continue with the old system. What should I do?
The transition to the new regulations, for those who already joined, it is purely optional. Anyone who wants to can switch to the new; who prefer to continue with the order in which you can do so in writing. In this case his plan of study will not change. Just like always, subscribe to the following year by submitting the application on the answering machine.

But the courses, and then the lessons of the old order will there be?
In the academic year 2008/2009 will start courses under the old system of the second and third years. In the next (2009-2010), only those of the third year of the old system, after which the course will be low. Those who were left behind materials of the first year is advisable to inquire about the lessons of the new system, since in many of the courses-based programs remain similar.

FOR THREE YEARS THAT WISH TO GO TO THE NEW ORDER

am a member of a three-year and would like to move to the new system. What should I do?
Occor first of all join the new academic year as if it keeps up with the old system. Later in September we will move to the new regulations (the application, found on the site may be delivered by October 31 or, in second place, 7 to 31 January 2009).

When will come out the criteria for conversion testing?
The criteria are already out, and can be found on the website of the faculty.

FOR WHO 'THE SPECIALIST

are the specialist. The reform also concerns me?
The specialist will be active next year in the first year of the reformed and the second from the old system. So if you have attended the first year and have passed the examinations required (or at least most of them), would be inconvenient to switch. On the contrary, if you have taken a few exams and you have to give a large number of examinations of the first year, it may be convenient to go to the new system.

THE NEW TAX SYSTEM

Who is affected?
The new tax system, which comes into force this year, about who will enroll the first year of any degree in the academic year 2008/2009. So this reform affects both students and those of the three-year specialist.

What is?
The system is well advertised on the site of the University . If you want to make you a more accurate on this subject I suggest you read up www.lavoce.info (one of the greatest Italian web sites dealing with issues of economic and social reform), Article self-celebration of the creator of the reform , prof. Ceredigion and response the student representative to the Opera Universitaria Valerio neckline
those who have followed this blog knows that my personal opinion coincides with Valerio. What he wrote I would add two things:
- The award comes two years after. Then we go for three years the money will come - if all goes well-when you finish the degree. More than a study seems to support the right of a good output.
- to take the top prize must go to study abroad for a period long enough to give many credits (scoring requires that you have given 60 credits regardless of whether the student has an Erasmus grant for one year or three months!). Mind you, studying abroad is all well and good, but I wonder if you want to encourage, because it is economically negligible lavish Erasmus grants for living abroad?
I have the impression that doing so will be denied the top prize to the most, in favor of higher incomes.

presudosondaggi The Sky Tg24

normally shy away from swearing. It seems to me a short cut too short vocabulary. But another poll by Sky tonight I just made them turn. So I wrote the following e-mail to editors:

"Re: fake polls"

would be a case to stop doing these surveys of the cabbage. They now understand how all that there exits a survey on the government side and a phone call from Arcore all the licking Berlusca how they vote. The news tonight, that 83% of Italians would agree with the last shot shit PSICONANO Europe is really funny. Not to mention the interception.

Above: everything you disqualified as objective news. "

For those not aware: Sky Tg24 on a daily basis a survey of topical issues, which can be answered by pressing the Sky remote control or via the Internet. I note that the term survey is completely out of taking place, as is well known that this type of investigation gives results very unreliable. This is acknowledged on the website, while there is no mention on TV. The reason why you do these surveys is easy to understand: to meet with the remote control you must connect the receiver to the phone line. The way to yield to the temptation to buy some event is thus shortened. But the opportunity to exploit these events for political propaganda is too good and the results are as ridiculous:

"Berlusconi: Europe needs a Drizzona, it should be removed from the bureaucracy and returned to the people. Do you agree?" Answer: Yes 83%, "Are you in favor of the measure in the draft bill on wiretapping, which provides up to three years in prison for those who publish them?" Answer: Yes 65% XD

Europe needs a Drizzona! But how about our Prime Minister? He wants to "straighten" him back to Europe? But come on, if they are still laughing at the fool that he did in the European Parliament!

University Joint Committee on Tax Reform Committee

As you read the local papers, or this blog, the University, some time ago, decided to change its taxation system student. Like I've already written in an old post .
Following this approval was set up a joint committee of the University until June by establishing the parameters for the issuance of awards of merit. This committee is composed of a student representative for faculty, the deans (or their proxies) and prof. Ceredigion (delegate of the Rector). For
Sociology, other representatives on the Joint (Sorina and Elizabeth) have transferred me to go (and I can only thank them for the trust).

These criteria must be identified to give an award to 50% of graduates. The criteria for assessing proposed in this draft are 4:
- duration of study: 3 years plus 1 for the three-year, 2 +1 for the specialist, 5 +2 degrees for one cycle (Law and Engineering). Exceeded the year's delay will not be entitled to any prize.
- studies abroad: 35 or 45 points for the double degree. Credits abroad (Erasmus): 25 * (crediti/40), maximum 25 points.
- the first year of study: 30 * (crediti/60) * (Average ratings / media faculty)
- On the right: maximum 30, and established by the faculty.
These four criteria are added at the end of the course of study, and this "ranking" are awarded half of the graduates.

Now that we have this first draft, I asked other representatives to see us to formulate a joint proposal on some critical issues.
The most important, Sociology, and duration. Tomorrow the committee will discuss the reform on a proposal that, among other things, provides for the reduction of the appeals of graduation. Personally I was not opposed to a reduction in the number of appeals (it is irrational to graduate in January and then after 15 days in February), but now if the month is more or less decided whether to give the prize - or not - the question becomes one profoundly different.
As the sense of reform is to put students in competition with each other, increasing taxes at all and turning the extragettito the middle of them, people can not stop a few feet to the finish line, asking him to wait months for the next Appeal degree. The risk of losing the advantage gained in the race is too high.
Here's what bothers me most of the reform: this race finish applied to the students. While advancing to the teachers' length of service. " Mostly because I do not think the study is a race with others, but a time dedicated to themselves and their own interests.
But, to put it as the prof. Waxy "is not a race, it's just life." And I might add a final dry and "baby": if only I had a glass in hand, a deep voice, a long coat and clear my name Humphrey Bogart.
