TEACHING METHODS

The class consists of 36 hours of lectures.

For each lesson, teaching materials will be previously uploaded on the aulaweb platform, which are to be read before the lesson. In this way, the frontal exposition by the teacher is accompanied by moments of discussion and debate in which students can debate among themselves and with the teacher.

The frontal teaching is aimed at providing basic knowledge and at illustrating the main problematic issues that concern the addressed topics. The moments of discussion are instead aimed at stimulating critical learning of students who are asked to develop their own understanding of the individual issues discussed; This understanding starts from the readings provided and the notions conveyed by the teacher and aims to promote in students an independent awareness of the topics in question.
