|
Description |
Being a small group of students, it is possible to resolve doubts and individualized monitoring during the learning process itself.
In particular, the master class is participatory, encouraging the exchange of opinions, debate and answer questions.
The students in labs are supervised at all times by teachers and, if necessary, by the research group in which the student integrates.
Students with part-time dedication or waiver of presence should contact the teachers of the subject in the early going to establish a schedule of activities to acquire and evaluate in a complementary way the competences.
