Bibliography

there is no single text specific to the course content

PDF and TEXT OF THE TEACHER are available

Teaching methods

The teaching will be carried out through face-to-face lessons with the help of slides that will represent teaching material, made available on Elly in pdf format for students. The lessons also include the discussion of examples of the most recent real cases.
For this reason, the slides, which are gradually updated for each topic, will be uploaded to Elly before each lesson and not all at the beginning of the course.
The content of the lessons is not included in a single specific text, so attendance at lessons is key to achieving the objectives of teaching

Assessment methods and criteria

The student at the end of the course is required to develop with personal research a topic of the course. The student will illustrate this research to teachers and students.
The level of learning of the expected results for all content offered during the lessons will then be verified.
The verification mode includes an oral test
The aim of the questions is to measure the level of knowledge acquired, the ability to communicate, the adequacy in the use of technical language and the autonomy of judgment;
