Telematic exams (Meet)

1. The exams will be held electronically, using Meet (see Notes), on the days and times indicated on Evaluate me, connecting to the virtual classroom at the indicated time.
2. Deactivate microphones and video cameras (not to create sound and visual overlays). At the time of convocation, the appeal will be made according to the order of registration, which must be answered using the chat function; based on the number of students enrolled in the exam and actual attendance, the list of those who will be questioned and the timetable (indicative) will be indicated.
3. Since the exams are public, those who are not questioned are urged to stay connected and listen to the questions (with microphone and video camera disabled).
4. Those who connect late and who are therefore absent from the appeal, are asked to follow the instructions (turn off the microphone and the video camera) and report their presence / intention to take the exam using the chat function afterwards (not to disturb) that the examination of the candidate who is being questioned at the time will have ended.

https://elearning.humnet.unipi.it/

Students are encouraged to register for the course on the Moodle platform to download the didactic material and to be updated on any movements / suspensions / changes in class schedule and reception.

Other information related to teaching (changes in hours of lesson and / or reception, etc.) will be indicated in the personal page of the teacher on Unimap> Didactic activity

We also suggest the Unimap consultation> Didactic activity> Lecture register

The course will take place in the first semester (start, days and hours to be defined).

To organize the internal activities of the course in the most efficient way and to elaborate the work schedule (lectures of the teacher, study group, collective discussions, exercises / reports, classroom presentation of the lessons, it is mandatory that the students attending the course register on Moodle and it is also necessary that they do so as soon as possible.

Telematic modality of the course (Meet)

The course will be carried out electronically (Meet platform) in the following ways:

download Meet by connecting to the link https://meet.google.com/ (web access has a discontinuous link).
access Meet from the Google Chrome browser, with the institutional account @ students.unipi.it (other accounts are rejected).
once you have entered your university credentials and shown on the Meet start page, select the "Use a meeting code" option and enter the code 533MM (code of the Methodology and History of History course from antiquity to the contemporary age).
turn off the microphone (to avoid creating sound overlaps) and leave the camera activated.
at the beginning of the lesson, an appeal will be made, which must be answered verbally (by activating the microphone) and writing your surname in the chat.
during the lesson you can take part by asking to speak through the chat (not with the raised hand symbol).

Telematic mode of receptions (Meet)

The teacher receives on Meet (for access see above) with an appointment previously agreed by email. Always use the institutional email @ students.unipi.it (other private accounts are often inserted in Spam and therefore trashed).

In the case of DSA conditions (certified or non-certified) or any other situations that could affect the outcome of the exam, the interested parties are asked to inform the teacher before the start of the course.
