Aims
By the end of this course, the student should be able:
- to perceive what is a theological reflection, and what is the specific contribution of the various theological fields in the reflection as a whole.
- to understand (not too difficult) theological contributions and to write a correct synthesis of them.
Main themes
- meetings with a tutor chosen from among the Faculty, who will follow the personal progression of the student; through short written works, he/she will verify and improve the capacity of the student to synthesize and write a paper (1 ECTS)
- "monitoring" organised by an assistant supervised by the responsible instructor. The student is introduced to an intelligent use of the library and to the basic methodology of theology students. The assistant helps him/her to study (1 ECTS)
- an interdisciplinary workshop guided by an instructor. This aims to introduce the students to the job of a theologian: theological work is developed starting from a practical question or simulating a situation in which a theologian has to work.
