Teaching method

The course will combine theoretical and practical classes, including presentation, demonstration, practical exercises, group discussion and reflection on the topics studied. Classes will favour the practical implementation of theory, interaction and students’ active participation both individually and in a group. Students will carry out theoretical and practice tasks throughout the semester; reviewed versions will be gathered in a final portfolio assessment (100%), likely to reflect the regular participation during classes and to prove a meaningful and reflective learning process.

Evaluation method

Students will carry out theoretical and practice tasks throughout the semester; reviewed versions will be gathered in a final portfolio assessment (100%), likely to reflect the regular participation during classes and to prove a meaningful and reflective learning process.
