Didactic methods

The teaching methods adopted are distinguished between attending and non-attending students due to the high rate of innovation of the reference literature which requires continuous verification of the contents of the course provided. As far as attending students are concerned, teaching will be provided in the form of lectures dedicated to the transmission of the basic notions, key categories and fundamental application tools; to this are added the exercises in reading scientific articles and writing digital papers in the field of Organizational Psychology. Furthermore, with the help of the University e-learning platform, refresher readings and the use of media concerning the topics covered in the course are proposed. With regard to non-attending students, the teaching methods consist in uploading the recorded lessons and additional material on the University e-learning platform, as well as consulting the exams suggested and available on Leganto. The individual reception service managed by the teacher is available throughout the academic year, at the times indicated on the web pages and constantly updated. Any further updates will be made available to the student in good time by means of specific notices.
