- knowing the main types of medieval sources: reading published records and finding the way through the iconographic sources;
- historically contextualize the monument and create links with the cultural offer of the city during the visit planning period;
- public speaking, organize and leading a guided tour (individual practical test).
These skills will be first acquired by insights on research tools and sources and then through the guided tour of the Ancient Hospital of Milan and practical experience supported by each individual student in front of the audience of their comrades. Discussion with the teacher during lectures is integrant part of the didactic method and aims at promoting a critical attitude and the ability to apply the acquired competence and knowledge.
The teaching is also based on didactic material provided on MyAriel platform: slides, texts, videos, documents.
