Readings/Bibliography
no textbooks are suggested: their aging is incredibly fast, more so
when they are translations. hopefully, I am going to solve the
problem with classes only. where you are going to learn some useful
internet sites for an effective continuing education
Teaching methods
informal classes. active involvement and aggressive discussion
requested
Assessment methods
the final examination is not strictly mandatory. the active
involvement suggested in 'teaching methods' usually enough to
permit a satisfactory evaluation at the end of the course
