Bibliography

Full-time students
Full-time students "create" their own textbook participating a closed
group on Facebook, through which they operate collectively – with
support (monitoring and intervention ) provided by the teacher, thus
simulating a real editorial work. Alternatively, students can activate a
personal blog that encompasses the evidence gathered during the
lectures and updates via the web.
Part – time students
For students who do not attend, for which we recommend - if possible - to
take the exam in September, theoretical preparation is required on any
text regarding the matter (to be communicated at least 15 days prior to
the exam to the teacher) over the study of the "social" in which students
can join by asking the "access keys" to the teacher.
