Teaching methods

<br />For each argument treated, during the lesson the correspondent graphic materials, comprehending both texts in Italian and/or English language and figures, are projected. Students are allowed to download the same files from the web site of the teacher. <br />The evaluation test begins with the exposition of an argument chose by the student and for which a particular deep knowledge is required, as well as the ability of the student to continuously change the exposition scheme for reply to the teacher’s answers. Afterwards, the student is required to respond to answers related to some other arguments of the course.
