Other activities

What are

Your course of study includes the obligation to acquire CFUs by carrying outOther Activities that are closely related to your university course and useful for your entry into the world of work.

In order to graduate, you must obtain 5 CFUs (6 CFUs if you enrolled before 2018/19) of otheractivities, broken down as follows:

  • 3 CFUs for other activities
  • 2 CFUs for traineeships and internships

You can enter the code for the other activities in your study plan either in the first, second or third year.

N.B.The other activities can be carried out at any time during the three years, but you can only request recognition if you have entered the corresponding code in your study plan. If you have not entered it, you can still carry out activities that are useful for obtaining 'other' credits. However, you will have to wait until the following academic year to submit your documentation, when you will enter the code for the educational activity in your plan.

.

Recognized activities

You can obtain other credits by participating in conferences, congresses, colloquia, seminars, organised by the course of study, the Department of Antiquities, Philosophy and History and the School of Humanities.

Below you will find a detailed list of the activities that are considered valid for credit recognition:

  1. period of study abroad at university sites (3 CFU for a duration of no less than 2 months);
  2. stage or laboratory activities recognised by the CCDS relevant to curricular training;
  3. relational and didactic training activities at public or legally recognised organisations pertinent to curricular training;
  4. certificate of attendance at conferences and seminar cycles strictly pertinent to curricular training, as established by the commission;
  5. computer skills, subject to passing the specific test (from 1 to 3 CFU);
  6. elective teaching activities (ADE) pertinent to curricular training;
  7. other, subject to examination by the committee and specific approval by the CCdS.

All updates on conferences, seminars and other events organised by the lecturers of the degree course are published:

The computer skills test is a testto be prepared independently. Find all the information about test dates and materials to prepare on Teams.

Teams code: ec1icx9

.

To book the test, simply write an email to daniele.porello@unige.it with the subject line "Computer Skills Test" and then log onto the Teams channel at the time of the test.

Normally one trial per month is organized; dates are announced on Teams at the beginning of each month. If you have special needs, please contact the instructor.

Trial Instructions

.

The test is conducted indistance mode on Teams. The test has a maximum total duration of two hours (an hour and a half for the first level, half an hour for the second) in which you are required to solve some short exercises with your computer.

On the Teams channel, find a sample of the proposed exercises to prepare you for the test.

At the end of the test, you will send the result of the exercises (i.e., some files that you will have processed) in a compressed folder via email to daniele.porello@unige.it or to the same teacher via Teams chat, specifying: last name, first name, freshman number, number of credits of the test, code of "other activities" required by your curriculum for the computer skills test.
The subject of the email should be: "Computer Skills Test-Surname-Name".
It is important that you specify all the information requested, because you will need it to produce the certificate for credit.

The two levels are independent, and can be supported separately.

The course Citizenship Training is aimed at all students enrolled in the University's undergraduate, master's, single-cycle master's and PhD courses, regardless of the proposing department or the course they are enrolled in. The aim of the course is to promote the development of active and responsible citizenship through the acquisition of personal and social, entrepreneurial and digital skills.

The Course of Study recognises the following seminar modules among other curricular activities:

  • Marginals and Rights (DAFIST - referee Prof. Langella) - 1 CFU
  • Religions in Public Space (DAFIST - referee Prof. Colagrossi) - 1 CFU
  • Multiculturalism and citizenship (DLCM - ref. prof. Pusillo) - 1 CFU
  • Searching and risking: exploring the world of youth (DIRAAS - ref. prof. Morando) - 1 CFU
  • AI in pills (DIBRIS) - 1 CFU
    • .
  • Data Science in pills (DIBRIS) - 1 CFU
  • Mathematics for AI in Pills (DIMA) - 1 CFU

PLEASE NOTE: the range of modules offered may vary from year to year, please wait for the annual announcement with the list of modules offered in the current academic year.

Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) by the Italian state, these workshops aim to bring those who participate closer to the world of LIS; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual-gestural channel.

Lecturer responsible: Danilo Monteverde

The course of study recognises 2 CFUs for the basic level course and 2 CFUs for the intermediate level course.

More information on class schedules and classrooms will be published in due course on the "News" section of this website.

Elective Educational Activities (ADE)

Study courses in Philosophy and Philosophical Methodologies recognise, for other credits, any elective teaching activities (i.e. self-organised by students). This requires an agreement with the lecturer, as governed by the specific regulations, available in the annex.

CFU Recognition

To apply for the recognition of other credits, you must hand in your application to the chairman of the Committee on Other Credits, at least two months before the final discussion:

.
  • the application form (available in the annex below)
    • .
  • paperwork certifying the activity performed, the competence acquired and the duration of the activity

Acknowledgement of attendance at activities is made in relation to the hours attended and reported on the specific form (available below, in annex).

To find out more, read the 'Criteria for the acceptance and evaluation of proposals for initiatives to be claimed as other credits'.

Criteria for Acceptance and Evaluation of Proposals for Initiatives to be Validated as Other Claims

At the arrival of a proposed initiative or activity, the committee chairman:

    .
  1. assesses the congruence (C) of the proposal with the themes of the course disciplines (with a variable percentage weighting):
    - for philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, etc. the weight will be 1
    - for related subjects (literary, etc.) it may range from 0.5 to 0.8
    2. .
  2. estimate the number of hours (O) for which you will be engaged and whether any additional work by the participants is planned for the proposed activity (e.g. lecture report on an external seminar attended). So remember to specify this and quantify it in number of hours for further commitment (Ou)
    3. .
  3. communicate to the Coordinator and to the entire Commissionthe data necessary for the evaluation: title, date(s), time(s) and place(s), congruence (C), number of hours (O), possible number of additional hours (Ou), documentation produced by the proposer
    4. .

The evaluation to be associated with the initiative is calculated by the Coordinator according to this formula:

evaluation = C × (O + Ou) / 25 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

The initiative will be published by the Coordinator on the course website. You will then be able to participate in the activity and have the specific form signed by the lecturer present. When you have collected certificates for a total of 1 CFU (or multiples), you will have to ask the chairperson of the committee to register the credit.

N.B.The grade indicated on the website will be the "maximum" grade for the activity, but what you will actually be credited with will be in relation to the actual number of hours on the module.
