Teaching methods
Lectures will be accompanied by practicals, group work and time for reflection and collective discussion.
Teaching Resources
We will not use a main textbook, but provide the students with:
· All of the slides presented during the course
· PDF version of all of the articles/reviews presented during the course
· Web addresses of all of the relevant sites (presented during the course)
· All of the slides presented during the course
· PDF version of all of the articles/reviews presented during the course
· Web addresses of all of the relevant sites (presented during the course)
Assessment methods and Criteria
-Written test (50% of the evaluation), with 2 open questions regarding the topics presented in the course.
-During the course, the students will be divided in small teams (2-3) to prepare journal clubs which will be discussed with the teacher (50% of the evaluation).
Results will be communicated to the students individually by e-mail. The test can be discussed with the Course Supervisor, by appointment.
