Teaching methods
In the academic year 2021-22, the Political Economics course coincides with the Economic History course. This means that both attending and non-attending students who intend to take the Political Economics exam must refer to the description, teaching timetables and exam methods of the Economic History course.
It will therefore be necessary to register for the Political Economics exam (prof. Maifreda) and take the exam following the Economic History course description (6 or 9 CFUs). Students who intend to take the exam in Political Economy following the old description of the academic year 2020-21 will be able to register for the exam of prof. Crivelli until February 2022. After February 2022 it will no longer be possible to take the Political Economics exam following the 2020-21 course (prof. Crivelli) description.
