| THE COURSE IS AIMED AT PROVIDING KNOWLEDGE ON THE MAIN PATHWAYS OF PLANT SPECIALIZED METABOLISM AND ON HERBAL DRUGS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING -MAIN PATHWAYS OF PLANT SPECIALIZED METABOLISM; -CHEMICAL FEATURES AND BIOSYNTHETIC ASPECTS OF BIOACTIVE PLANT METABOLITES; -CLASSIFICATION, PRODUCTION AND VARIABILITY OF PLANTS AND RELATED HERBAL DRUGS OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH INTEREST; -BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF HERBAL DRUGS AND RELATED ACTIVE PRINCIPLES. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING -RECOGNIZE THE PHYTOCHEMICAL AND PHARMACOGNOSTIC FEATURES OF HERBAL DRUGS; -ADDRESS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE USE OF PLANTS, HERBAL DRUGS AND RELATED PRODUCTS IN PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH FIELD. |

|---|---|
| THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST, TO BE SUSTAINED IN THE SAME EXAM SESSION. THE RATING IS X/30. TO PASS THE WRITTEN TEST WITH A SCORE OF 18/30 IS MANDATORY TO ACCESS TO THE ORAL TEST AND REACH THE FINAL GRADE. THE WRITTEN TEST TAKES TWO HOURS AND CONSISTS OF OPEN QUESTIONS ON THE MAIN LEARNING OUTCOMES. EACH QUESTION IS ADDRESSED TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGES OF BOTH 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. |
