Parts of the final state examination and its content
The final state examination will be divided in two main parts:
1) a discussion on a selection of readings which the students will have to prepare. The readings will be contextualized within their historiographical framework and critically analyzed by each examined student.
The goal of this part of the exam will be to show at the same time a panoramic understanding on the history of the field while being able to grasp scholarship as a historical phenomenon. The readings will be selected by the teachers and presented each year to the students.
2) students will have to show their mastering of the field in presenting three short papers on selected questions. These topics will be chosen in discussion with the teachers of the M.A. Each of them will be from a different period and medium.
The goal of this second segment will be to assess the ability of the student to show that she/he can present an excellent research.
