Teaching methods

The activities will take place in presence. If necessary lessons will be performed telepresence through the use of the Teams and Elly platforms. In particular, lessons will be held in asynchronous mode (uploaded on the Elly page of the course). To promote active participation in the course, both individual and small group activities will be proposed in synchronous mode, through the use of the resources available in Elly, such as discussion forums and logbooks

Assessment methods and criteria

If due to the persistence of the health emergency it is necessary to carry out the exams remotely, the final test will consist of an oral question conducted remotely (via Teams) in synchronous mode with questions on teaching topics.

Other information

The professor can be contacted for clarification or to make an appointment via email. There will be no intermediate evaluations. The student will have to demonstrate his degree of learning on the final exam.
