	Objectives
	ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE PLANT ORIGIN, MORPHOLOGY, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND USE OF HERBAL DRUGS AND DERIVED PREPARATIONS. THE STUDENT, ON THE BASIS OF THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, WILL BE ABLE TO ELABORATE CRITERIA TO RECOGNIZE AND USE THE HERBAL DRUGS. ACQUISION OF KNOWLEDGE ON PLANT METABOLISM, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO PLANT SECONDARY METABOLITES. THE STUDENT, ON THE BASIS OF THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND CORRELATE THE MAIN CLASSES OF NATURAL PRODUCTS.

	LECTURES, SEMINARS, TUTORIALS

	Verification of learning
	THE EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST, TO BE SUSTEINED IN THE SAME EXAM SESSION. THE RATING IS X/30. PASS THE WRITTEN TEST WITH A SCORE OF 18/30, IT IS MANDATORY TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE ORAL TEST, AND REACH THE FINAL GRADE. THE WRITTEN TEST TAKES TWO HOURS AND CONSISTS OF OPEN QUESTIONS ON THE MAIN LEARNING OUTCOMES OF PHARMACOGNOSY AND PHYTOCHEMISTRY. THE STUDENT WILL BE ASKED TO DISCUSS THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE COURSE, TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE CRITICAL THOUGHT AND AWARENESS OF THE SUBJECTS OF THE FIELD OF STUDY.
