• MetodologiaMethodology

  The course uses a flipped-classroom approach. Each group prepares and presents the chapter assigned to it (schedule shared in the first session), followed by a guided discussion of case studies to apply the concepts in practice. This structure requires advance preparation, builds communication, synthesis and critical-thinking skills, and improves the practical applicability of knowledge in real contexts. At the start of each class, students complete a short quiz (e.g., multiple choice) on the material covered in the previous session. The quiz provides immediate feedback and helps identify areas that need reinforcement. In every session, the instructor facilitates learning, addresses questions and aligns the case studies with the course learning objectives.
