Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The lecturer gives lectures to provide theoretical and factual knowledge about the field. The lectures introduce basic concepts. In addition to the theoretical lectures, weekly resources are shared on the topics that are part of the course content and class discussions are held with the students. Students must actively participate in in-class discussions. The theoretical workshops planned as class exercises will involve conceptual/theoretical written productions (such as short essays, literature summaries and original ideas) or visual productions (such as diagrams, maps and tables).
