Scientific activities curated by the Creative Methods Open Lab research group will be open to the participation and involvement of students.
The exam consists of a 75-minute written test composed by 10 open questions with a short answer, which each worth 1/10 of the evaluation mark.
The exam allows to evaluate:
Through the critical analysis of research examples, the course explores characteristics, complexity, potential, ethical aspects, and the relationship between researchers and participants of non-traditional qualitative research methods, as, in particular, participatory video, digital storytelling, video-diary, collage, walking interview, participatory theater, body mapping.
The syllabus applies equally to both attending and non-attending students. Erasmus students, as well as students with an Individualized Didactic Plan (PDP) or an Educational Intervention Plan (PEI), are encouraged to contact the course professor at the beginning of the course.
