La verifica delle conoscenze avviene durante le lezioni (lezione partecipata sul "modello anglo-sassone"):il docente stimolerà la discussione durante la lezione ponendo dei quesiti. Inoltre,immediatamente dopo la lezione,durante il ricevimento,gli studenti avranno modo di interloquire con il docente su problematiche emerse durante la lezione stessa.
During the oral final exam,the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of main topics of the course and be able to show a solid ability to explain critically processes and actors of present global order.

Methods:
Al termine del corso lo studente sarà in grado di poter individuare i nuovi elementi del sistema globale acquisendo una capacità di rielaborazione ed organizzazione dei contenuti.
Durante le lezioni verranno discusse alcune tematiche.
lo studente potrà acquisire sensibilità alle diverse problematiche territoriali scaturite dallo studio dello stesso sistema globale.
Durante le lezioni,ed il successivo ricevimento,saranno valutati il grado di gestione e di organizzazione dei contenuti acquisiti,attraverso ampia discussione.
indispensabile la costante consultazione di un buon Atlante Geografico: lo studio del territorio muove anche da una buona conoscenza dello spazio geografico; riuscire ad orientarsi secondo termini e modalità geografiche (dai punti cardinali alle aree continentali ecc).
Conoscenze di storia economica .
Lezioni frontali "partecipate" con ausilio di lucidi e non di slides (per esperienza si dimostrano dispersivi).
Il ricevimento ha luogo al termine delle lezioni ed è occasione di confronto e di dibattito. In alcuni casi può essere concordato un ulteriore ricevimento anche via email.
