Teaching method
Oral presentation of the fundamental contents of the syllabus, after the previous readings performed by the students of the reference texts, in order to provide a deeper questioning of knowledge and its group discussion.
Monitoring of individual research plans (approval of projects and of the other research tasks to perform).
Evaluation method
The individual research projects should be structured as a development of one of the topics of the syllabus and in accordance with the personal goals/interests of each student (the theme of its final dissertation), and will be presented in the form of a paper (20-30 pp.), complying with the requirements of scientific publication.
