- The Critical Thinking curricular unit uses innovative methodologies that promote active and collaborative learning. Problem-based learning (PBL) puts students at the center of the process, challenging them to solve practical cases with critical thinking. Case studies and simulations allow students to apply theory to real-world scenarios, while digital tools facilitate collaboration and instant feedback. Gamification makes the process engaging, with games that encourage critical analysis. Continuous assessment is based on reflections, encouraging self-criticism and the continuous development of critical thinking skills.
- Mandatory
- This curricular unit aims to promote, among students, the acquisition of fundamental concepts related to critical thinking (truth, validity, knowledge, reason, argument) and the ability to analyse, evaluate, and reconstruct arguments, recognising underlying patterns of thought and identifying possible fallacies. It also seeks to develop attitudes of active and engaged observation, to encourage the consideration of new ideas, and to foster reflection in a more structured, comprehensive, and in-depth manner. The unit further aims to strengthen students’ ability to communicate in an authentic and consistent way, which includes learning to express their own point of view clearly and to listen attentively to different perspectives, striving to achieve a solid and well-grounded understanding of the concepts under discussion.
- 1. Introduction to Critical Thinking: truth, validity, knowledge, reason, argument. 2. Concept and construction of Logic 3. Deductive arguments 4. Inductive arguments 5. Arguments from analogy 6. Causal arguments 7. Fallacies 8. Rhetorical devices 9. Norms and obstacles to critical thinking

- The Critical Thinking course unit aims to develop the ability for rigorous analysis and in-depth reflection on complex problems and issues, fostering an attitude of questioning and openness to well-founded argumentation. This unit seeks to provide students with both theoretical and practical tools to identify fallacies, avoid cognitive biases, and evaluate information impartially, promoting more informed and rational decision-making. The inclusion of Critical Thinking in the study programme is fundamental for shaping citizens and professionals capable of navigating a constantly changing world, where the quantity and diversity of information demand a keen and discerning eye. This course unit contributes to the development of essential academic skills, such as research, debate, and argumentation, and prepares students to face professional challenges with a critical and innovative mindset.

- In this curricular unit, theoretical classes will be taught with detailed exposition, using audiovisual means, of the fundamental concepts, principles, and techniques of Distributed Systems, accompanied by elementary practical examples that arouse students' interest in theoretical matters and exemplify their application to real situations. Theoretical-practical classes will also be taught in which students, with the guidance of the teacher, will solve some practical application exercises, which require the combination of different theoretical concepts and promote critical thinking in the face of more complex problems. Theoretical-practical classes will also be intended to support practical work.
