Format: more information

Classes are taught mostly ex cathedra, with the possibility to enter into class-wide discussion on selected topics, as well as the continuous possibility for the students to ask questions. 

This course includes discussion sessions, implementing activating educational formats. Attendance at the discussion sessions is therefore compulsory and will be checked. Planning, content and the means of checking attendance and participation in the discussion sessions and the preparatory assignments, will be communicated at the start of the semester. Unjustified absence can result in a compulsory replacement task, a malus point or the loss of an attendance linked bonus point, depending on the regulation that is communicated at the start of the course.
