• MetodologiaMethodology

  The methodology of this UC is based on a theoretical approach, through the presentation of content in classes, with the help of audiovisual materials, bibliography and access to support materials previously prepared by the Professor. Cumulatively, discussion and analysis of the cases addressed, production of oral and written speech, attendance at shows and exhibitions opportunely indicated and preparation of the works communicated at the beginning of the semester are expected. Some of the classes will be taught in a museum context, for direct and immersive contact with the cases discussed. The combination of elements presupposes a strong Practic-Based Learning component. The materials are delivered through Moodle and later discussed in classes. All work can and should be discussed with the teacher, and correction is mandatory and considered for assessment. Time will also be reserved for tutorial guidance in person and via email.
