(autonomy of judgement): the ability to exercise sufficient autonomy of judgement; 4. (communication skills): the ability to present acquired knowledge clearly and correctly; 5.

(knowledge and understanding): a thorough knowledge of social philosophy, with particular reference to the question of the struggle for recognition or equality in theories of democracy and issues relating to gender injustice; 2. (ability to apply knowledge understanding): a good ability to reconstruct the arguments of the authors and texts analysed in a precise and thorough manner; 3. (autonomy of judgement): a good ability to critically analyse the different theories analysed; 4. (communication skills): a good ability to present the knowledge acquired in a clear and correct manner, showing full mastery of terminology and vocabulary; 5. (learning ability): a good ability to analyse texts and to link the topics dealt with, demonstrating awareness of the problems connected to the interpretation of the theoretical debates relating to the theories of political power and the struggle for recognition.

Registration on the DIR page of the form is suggested. Students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (DSA) or Special Educational Needs (BES) may request specific services and tools dedicated to them by contacting the Career Development and Coordination Staff and Student Services and consulting the dedicated page of the University website: https://uniupo.en/en/servizi/servizi-studentisidisabili-e-dsa Students with disabilities, DSA, BES, once they have made contact with the University Staff, can contact the teacher in charge of the course in relation to the declination of the examination methods, with regard to teaching aspects.

The final examination consists of an oral exam lasting approximately 20 to 30 minutes to test the knowledge included in the objectives and expected learning outcomes. The grade is expressed in thirtieths and the evaluation is carried out according to the following parameters: 1) knowledge and understanding of the main topics covered: 18 points out of 30 (sufficiency); 2) ability to set out clearly and correctly the knowledge acquired: 6 points out of 30; 3) ability to establish links between the topics covered and to examine them in depth critically and with independent judgement: 6 points out of 30.

In the module, a critical analysis of the categories of distribution and recognition, and their relation to the concept of political change, will be developed to analyse the different dimensions of equality and critically evaluate the contemporary economic, political and social context and the struggles for equality that characterise it. Among the different cases analysed, special attention will be paid to the claims of the feminist movement and the intersection of racial, gender and class injustices.

In order to attain the knowledge and corresponding competences at the basic level, students must demonstrate that they (knowledge and understanding): to have acquired sufficient knowledge of some classic texts of social thought in their disciplinary specificity, and of the different theoretical positions with respect to the concepts of freedom, equality and recognition; 2. (ability to apply knowledge and understanding): to be able to recognise the main lines of argument and the conceptual structure of the texts and theories analysed; 3. (autonomy of judgement): to be able to correctly compare the different themes taken into consideration; 4. (communication skills): to be able to present the knowledge acquired in a clear and correct manner; 5. For the attainment of an advanced level one must demonstrate: (knowledge and comprehension): having acquired a thorough knowledge of themes and authors of social philosophy, with particular reference to the theories of recognition; 2. (ability to apply knowledge and comprehension): being able to reconstruct in a precise and thorough manner the theoretical-political debates of modern and contemporary authors, and to recognise the different methodologies and interpretative perspectives adopted; 3. (communicative skills): to be able to present the knowledge acquired in a clear and correct manner, showing full command of the terminology and vocabulary of both disciplines; 5. (learning ability): to have acquired a good ability to analyse texts and to link the topics dealt with, demonstrating awareness of the problems connected with the interpretation of texts and the ability to carry out individual in-depth studies. These learning outcomes are consistent with the provisions of the SUA of the Philosophy and Communication Course, framework A4.b2.
