- Innovative teaching methods
The course methodology, which combines traditional didactics (lectures, seminars) with innovative-experimental techniques (Debate, Flipped Learning and use of the Moodle-blended learning platform), is aimed at developing both basic and higher cognitive knowledge. In this way, through direct confrontation with the lecturer and work in the classroom (Teaching Working Class), it is intended to stimulate the learning process through more effective student involvement and better organisation of the material, in order to facilitate knowledge processes during the course.
