Teaching Methodologies

The methods to be adopted in classes involve a combination of exposition and explanation of the contents, based on observation and image analysis (use of PowerPoint), by placing questions to students or clarify the questions asked by them. Reading and analysis of texts or documents, individually or in groups, as well as the interpretation and analysis of images and videos, promote discussion of the issues. Classes include also business planning practices where students can organize an activity in the various components of planning and logistics.
