ATTENDING AND NOT ATTENDING STUDENTS
The course assessment does not distinguish between attending and non-attending students. Students are assessed by written examination only and can choose between two methods. Two partial exams during the midterm and at the end of term test students on their knowledge on the first and second part of the course program respectively and focus on both course readings and class discussions. The questions of the written exam are class specific to reflect differences between classes in the focus of class discussions. The general exam tests students on their knowledge of all course topics and focuses on course readings only. Both the partial and general exams consist of both closed questions and open questions. Students who fail or do not attend either of the partial exams have to take the general exam to complete the course. Students who repeat the course after having failed to complete the course in their second year of study must take the general exam.
Teaching materials
ATTENDING AND NOT ATTENDING STUDENTS
The course material is the same for both attending and non-attending students and is assessed in both the partial and general exams. Classes in BIEM (15-18) and classes in BIEF (21-22) cover the same main topics but use different teaching material.
The main text in Classes 15-18 is Amatori, Franco and Andrea Colli (eds.), The Global Economy: A Concise History, Routledge. The textbook is available in print in the Bocconi bookshop, but students have free access to the full text online through the Bocconi Library Catalogue.
Classes 21-22 will use a selection of chapters from different international textbooks, which are all accessible full text online through the Bocconi Library Catalogue.
The course syllabus will describe the teaching material in detail, organized by topic and class.
