Dear All,

final updates after the conclusion of our co-evolutionary journey in the classroom:

1) I've now uploaded the final (analytical syllabus) in the class materials of the website. That syllabus includes all the weekly updates given so far through the newsletter;

2) There is a new class materials section called "project works". In that section you can find what presented yesterday by Federico (this including the link for booking). In that section you can also find two brilliant project works recently discusses by your former peers (both the projects then also became guest posts on my blog).

In terms of next steps:

1) please, as anticipated, get in touch with Federico Giannetti (federico.giannetti@uniroma2.it) for the follow up regarding the project works' proposals;

2) get in touch with me, for everything else, regarding the module (I've already set my April office hours).

Thank you very much, again, for all your energy and engagement during the module!

Have a nice Easter break and looking forward to seeing you again in the campus in April.

Best wishes.

You do not have to read it in advance; but you need to have it available for your reading during the lecture.
