Teaching methods
The elective course is made up of 3 CFU of lectures (1 CFU for each individual module) and tutorial courses in small groups led by teachers and researchers, with in-depth analysis of specific problems that will be reported to the entire group in specifically organized meetings. This working methodology appears to be consistent with the spirit of the elective course as it provides basic cultural insights and offers each individual student the opportunity, under the guidance of experts, of a personal journey of critical elaboration of the topics covered.
Assessment methods
At the end of the course the student will have to give a short presentation on a topic assigned to him by the tutor relating to the topics covered during the lessons.
Teaching tools
The teaching material is represented by slide sets and a selection of review articles.
