The proposal focuses on fostering autonomy and critical engagement in educational activities. Through guided workshops, peer feedback, and group sessions, students will articulate research ideas in a professional context and interact with diverse perspectives. The course supports learning and helps participants gain confidence in their ability to contribute to the sharing of musical topics.
Structure
The course structure consists of 8 weekly online sessions, each lasting 125 minutes, divided into two modules: a training module (theoretical part) and a conference module (practical part). There are essential conditions to pass the course: 1) attendance at scheduled lessons is mandatory. An absence exceeding 20% will generally result in failing the course; 2) participation in discussions and feedback; 3) submission of a reflection note (800 words), by December 15th at the latest.
All course requirements must be met for students to receive a final evaluation. This evaluation is awarded on a pass/fail basis as determined by the faculty. Students who fail will have to apply to retake the course for a new opportunity, and will only be able to do so if there are available places.
