Find all possible values of $\displaystyle I= \int_C \frac{dz}{1+z^2}$, where $C$ is a curve with initial point $0$ and final point $1$ that does not meet the poles of $\dfrac{1} {1+z^2}$

.

It looks like a problem related to residue theorem, but I have no idea what should I do as $C$ is not closed. Can anyone provide some hints? Thanks!
