|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMINATION WITH AN ASSESSMENT IN THIRTIETHS. THE EXAMINATION INCLUDES AN ORAL TEST, LASTING APPROXIMATELY 30/40 MINUTES, DURING WHICH QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE MONETARY HISTORY OF THE GREEK AND ROMAN PERIODS WILL BE ASKED; THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT HE/SHE IS ABLE TO RECOGNISE AND READ AN ANCIENT COIN AND THAT HE/SHE HAS ACQUIRED THE SCIENTIFIC, THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL NOTIONS TO USE NUMISMATIC DOCUMENTATION AS A SOURCE OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE. THE MINIMUM MARK TO PASS THE EXAM IS 18/30 AND WILL BE AWARDED TO THE STUDENT WHO SHOWS A GENERIC KNOWLEDGE OF NUMISMATICS, BUT A LIMITED ABILITY TO FOCUS ON THE FUNDAMENTAL AND SCIENTIFIC ISSUES OF THE DISCIPLINE AND A POOR ABILITY TO PLACE THE COIN IN ITS HISTORICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT. HONOURS MAY BE AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM MARK OF 30/30 AND DEMONSTRATE COMPLETE MASTERY OF NUMISMATIC RESEARCH METHODS AND ANALYSIS OF MONETARY DOCUMENTATION AS A SOURCE OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE. |
