Students with SLD or temporary or permanent disabilities. It is suggested that they get in touch as soon as possible with the relevant University office (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en) and with the lecturer in order to seek together the most effective strategies for following the lessons and/or preparing for the examination.

Teaching methods

The course will be conducted through lectures and seminars with the aid of computer equipment (slides, internet) and the slides made available on the website https://virtuale.unibo.it/.

Assessment methods

The verification of learning takes place through an exclusively oral final exam that ascertains the acquisition of the expected cognitions and skills through the conduct of an interview with the teacher.

Students with SLD or temporary or permanent disabilities. It is necessary to contact the relevant University office (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en) with ample time in advance: the office will propose some adjustments, which must in any case be submitted 15 days in advance to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of these in relation to the teaching objectives.

Teaching tools

Summary sheets and slides on the main topics covered; in-depth readings; verification of the degree of understanding and preparation during the course through classroom interaction and discussion.

Students who, for reasons dependent on disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA), require compensatory tools may inform the lecturer of their needs so that they can be referred to the contact persons and the most appropriate measures can be agreed upon.
