Evaluation methods
Students will be evaluated on the basis of three exercises:
- an observation of a Sunday worship, with a ratio of 3/20
- a summary of a chapter in a written manual and presented for oral examination, rated 2/20
- an oral examination on the course. The evaluation will be based mainly on the knowledge acquired and the ability to account for the historical and anthropological (5/20) and theological aspects of liturgical practices (5/20), in particular a question on chapters dealing with the Eucharist (5/20).
