Teaching methodologies:
The methodologies are always upgraded to the student’s group which form the class. Searching for weak individualaspects allows an high level degree of exposition in front of the colleagues, a fact that, once it is surpassed, enriches all the class and the student himself.
The evaluation concerns all the academic records during the semester, whose special focus is given to the finalworks originality and contents that are presented in public.
