| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LESSONS (8CFU; 64H) SUPPORTED BY SLIDE SHOW; PROBLEM SOLVING (2CFU; 24H). |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ASSESSMENT INCLUDES A WRITTEN TEST AND ORAL EXAM WHERE THE POSITIVE EVALUATION OF THE TEST IS MANDATORY FOR THE ADMISSION TO THE ORAL EXAM. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS IN NUMERICAL PROBLEM SOLVING RELATED TO THE SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN THE LESSONS (SEE THE PROGRAM); TYPICALLY THE TEST IS EVALUATED POSITIVELY IF AT LEAST THREE OVER SIX PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED CORRECTLY IN 2H. THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS OF A DISCUSSION (20 MIN) ON THE MAIN SUBJECTS OF THE PROGRAM AND AIMS TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND THE LAWS GOVERNING THE CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. THE ORAL EXAM ALSO INCLUDES A DISCUSSION ON THE SCIENTIFIC REPORTS ELABORATED BY THE STUDENT AT THE END OF THE LAB PRACTICE. THE FINAL EVALUATION IS EXPRESSED WITH MARKS (18- 30 PTS) AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT OF THE WRITTEN TEST, ORAL EXAM AND LAB PRACTICE. |
