Teaching methods
The course will be conducted through face-to-face in-person (classroom) lectures. Depending on the pandemic trend, lectures could also be conducted in telepresence (synchronous-streaming) through the support of the Teams platform. This will preserve the possibility of real-time interaction with the Lecturer both in presence and at a distance. Lectures may be conducted with the help of iconographic material collected in presentations that will be made available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly.medicina.unipr.it).
