Metodi didattici
The course is based largely on a flipped classroom approach encouraging students to search and to critically review existing knowledge, and at the same time to apply generated learnings.
We will use games, class discussions, case studies, videos, individual and team project works, expert presentations.
The discussions are going to be the result of the reactions of the students to the inputs provided by the convenor, the materials or the guest speakers.
This means that for each session, students are expected to:
1. Before each session, study the material suggested/prepare;
2. During the session, actively discuss other students’ presentations and papers.
Attendance
because of the constant interaction, attendance is MANDATORY.
Students unable to participate need to receive a special exemption and will have a different exam/evaluation.
Laptop and Mobile Phone Policy
- Laptops are allowed for notetaking/fact checking
- Mobiles should be down unless instructed otherwise by the convenor.

Verifica Apprendimento
For attending students the evaluation will happen throughout the entire course as well as with a final exam.
Attending students might receive up to 2 extra points thanks to active participation that will need to be confirmed by an email to the teaching team at the end of each week.
The written exam lasts one hour and it consists of 12 multiple choices questions (2 points each) and one open question (6 points). Whereas the former will verify the acquired notions, the latter will test the ability to handle the concepts by using them in combination to explore the subject of the questions.
IMPORTANT: the 2 extra points due to participation will only be valid for the summer session, on the assumption that the more elapsed time the lower the retention, unless a very relevant motivation is offered.
