Students will be constantly encouraged to participate in the proposed activities through both classroom interactions with the teacher, and with the documentation of the re-elaborations carried out individually and / or in small groups on the Elly page of the course. In this sense, attendance corresponds to participation, both in presence and at a distance, in the proposed educational activities.

Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and may include one or more of the following resources: slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures.

The lesson log - collaboratively built with attending students - will be made available on the Elly page of the course.
