The educational methods adopted are different for the attendant and non-attendant student, due to the high level of innovation of the literature taken as a reference, which requires a continuous verification of the contents of the course.
For attendant students, the educational method used will be frontal lessons to deliver basic notions; key-categories and fundamental practical instruments. In addition to this, students will be asked to perform the reading of scientific papers, and writing of digital works related to this discipline.
Besides, also thanks to the e-learning platform of the University, we will propose refreshment readings and media related to the topics of the course.
During the first lesson, attendant students will receive the complete calendar of the educational activity provided with the dates and topics of the lessons. Timetable, room and any possible suspension for the Professor's academic reasons will be provided as well.
For non-attendant students, the educational method will be the support provided for by the Professor during his receiving hours.
Moreover, throughout the academic year, the Professor will be available to receive individual students, according to notices published on the website, which are updated continuously.
Further updates will be made available to the students promptly, also through dedicated notices.
Given the current emergency, the lessons are available via streaming via zoom: https://univr.zoom.us/j/3493331610

Examination Methods

The assessment of learning outcomes involves an oral test and the production of an exam paper to be sent to the teacher before the exam. Exam and didactic methods adopted are different for attendant and non-attendant students, due to the high level of innovation of the literature taken as a reference, which requires a continuous verification of the contents of the course.
For attendant students, the didactic method used will be frontal lessons to deliver basic notions; key-categories and fundamental practical instruments. In addition to this, students will be asked to perform reading of scientific papers, and writing of digital works related to this discipline.
Besides, also thanks to the e-learning platform of the University, we will propose refreshment readings and media related to the topics of the course.
During the first lesson, attendant students will receive the complete calendar of the didactic activity provided with the dates and topics of the lessons. Timetable, room and any possible suspension for the Professor's academic reasons will be provided as well.
For non-attendant students, the didactic method will be the support provided for by the Professor during his receiving hours.
Both modalities require the development of an exam paper to be forwarded to the Professor one month before the oral test and evaluated as an integral part of the exam. The short term must be developed following the next guidelines: https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Guida-Prova-dEsame--BJLuAB07ZRojeAflY_orygQEAQ-3qrT5LvNcHGjBauvO8618

Moreover, throughout the academic year the Professor will be available to receive individual students, according to the times published on the website, which are constantly updated.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
