Tutoring
The Course in Spatial Planning provides an articulated study support system developed through tutoring activities, which operates on different levels of action.
These activities fall into the category of actions aimed at: supporting students in difficulty, preventing drop-outs or delays in the course of study, enhancing the specific teaching methods of the degree courses pertaining to the Department of Architecture, and in particular the laboratory ones (architectural and landscape design, construction and environmental design, planning, restoration, drawing and surveying, etc.).
In this sense, for annual cycles and mainly by means of calls for proposals, the Department of Architecture has activated different tutor figures, who have followed one another over time to offer continuous support to individual study activities, both in relation to methodological aspects and to those more strictly related to content.
In relation to this field of action, different tutor figures are currently active:
Teaching tutors who work on subject areas indicated by the degree course from year to year (generally Mathematics and Design), and who are activated and managed by the COT by means of a call for applications. For the academic year 2023-2024, the COT is preparing the general selection notice, for which the subject areas of the previous notice will be confirmed. The two envisaged tutors (for Mathematics and Design) for the CdS in Urban Design for the City in Transition will be operational in early 2024.
Newly appointed learning tutors, working in the field of learning disorders, both certified and non-certified, also activated and managed by the COT (no. 1 for the academic year 2022-2023, 2023-2024 for all the degree courses pertaining to the Department of Architecture).
All the tutors‘ activities are directed and monitored by reference lecturers and are essentially carried out in the classrooms for teaching purposes, in the SOT room (Orientation and Tutoring Desk) or remotely, in the Teams room (’TUTORATO DARCH"), which has been specially activated. The aforementioned activities are accompanied by a register of the activities carried out and a final report drawn up by the tutor and signed by the reference teacher.
