Teaching method
Teaching components will resort to lectures, seminars, group-based discussions.
Discussions sessions will be organized in small groups to facilitate an in-depth examination of individual topics. The discussion groups will involve faculty staff whenever possible thus justifying the number of teaching members involved. Recently published research articles, will also be brought into the discussion.
Experts on specific areas will be invited as speakers whenever possible.
The assessment will be based upon the performance of the students in the presentation of a project/scientific paper, research project and other assignments, and discussions with colleagues, and the active participation in the class.
Evaluation method
