Type of delivery of the course

The course will be given through both traditional classes and hands-on exercises where students can apply the theoretical notions through analyses and research activities concerning emotions and communication. Students who actively attend the hands-on activities and send a final assignment can be exempt from parts of texts in the program.

Attendance

Frontal classes and hands-on activities. Attending is in general not mandatory but may help, due to learning by doing. Yet, it is mandatory for the lab part of the course which entitles to a final report exonerating from a part of assigned texts.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation is by means of an oral examination, namely putting at least one question and concurring examples about each text or group of texts in the program. The texts are the same for both attending and non-attending students, but those who actively take part in the hands-on activities and write the assignment are exempt from a part of the texts.
