Duncan McDonnell, a senior lecturer at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, who taught
undergraduates at the University of Turin for several years and was subsequently based at the
European University Institute in Florence, argues that the way the Italian system works often has the
unfortunate consequence of students not learning "any significant writing skills" during most of their
time at university.
"One particular Italian problem which I found regarding literacy is this: most exams in Italian universities
are still oral exams," he said. "Students get very little experience of writing during their undergraduate
years until, right at the end, they are asked to produce a long dissertation. It is absolutely crazy: they
have no preparation for doing so."
