The course utilizes the 'Virtuale' platform of Unibo, where all the necessary information and materials to achieve the required objectives can be found. Students are required to read the key documents and any additional readings provided by the teacher. Active participation and contribution to class discussions are very important educational aspects of the course. The course may include some optional intermediate assignments. In any case, those who are unable to attend and complete the various exercises can still take their exam during the scheduled sessions.

Teaching tools

The required and recommended readings, as well as the lecture slides, are available on 'Virtuale.' Various sources (audiovisual materials, examples of practical activities, guided discussions, shared reflections, etc.) will also be used from time to time to delve deeper into the concepts covered in the course.
