| THIS COURSE INTENDS TO PROVIDE THE MAIN AND FOUNDING SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS ON WHICH ECOTOXICOLOGICAL RESEARCH IS BASED IN RELATION TO THE PROFESSIONAL PHYSIOGNOMY THAT GRADUATES IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES WILL BE ABLE TO ASSUME TOWARDS THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS MODULE (PROF MOTTA): - KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS MODULE AIMS TO PROVIDE IN-DEPTH SKILLS REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND THE MAIN RELATIONSHIPS THAT OCCUR BETWEEN EXPOSURES TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS AND POTENTIAL EXPOSURE-RELATED RISKS. IN PARTICULAR, EXPOSURE-RELATED ASPECTS IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND OCCURRENCE OF INFECTIOUS OR CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASES WILL BE EXPLORED. IN ADDITION, THE COURSE WILL PROVIDE NOTIONS OF THE MAIN STRATEGIES PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT ADVERSE EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH CAUSED BY ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERING FACTORS. -APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BASIC ENVIRONMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS AND APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE BASIC PHENOMENA OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND HIGHLIGHT ISSUES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ECOLOGICAL CULTURE AS A FUNCTION OF SUSTAINABILITY. -LEARNING SKILLS: IT IS HOPED THAT THE STUDENT, AT THE END OF THE COURSE, WILL HAVE DEVELOPED THOSE LEARNING SKILLS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THEM TO UNDERTAKE FURTHER STUDIES WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF AUTONOMY. -AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT: AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVALUATE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE COURSE CONTENTS. -COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT WITH OTHERS, AND WORK AS A TEAM. HYGIENE AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY MODULE (PROF FRANCESCO GUARINO) THE MAIN TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING THE EFFECTS AND BIOLOGICAL RESPONSES WILL BE ADDRESSED, PROVIDING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS USEFUL IN ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY. - KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION OF ECOTOXICOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, CRITICALLY EXAMINE SCIENTIFIC PAPERS IN THE ECOTOXICOLOGICAL FIELD AND CONSCIOUSLY ORIENT THEMSELVES IN THE CHOICE OF ECOTOXICOLOGICAL TOOLS IN APPLICATIVE STUDIES. -LEARNING SKILLS: IT IS HOPED THAT THE STUDENT, AT THE END OF THE COURSE, WILL HAVE DEVELOPED THOSE LEARNING SKILLS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THEM TO UNDERTAKE FURTHER STUDIES WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF AUTONOMY. -APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: FURTHERMORE, AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVALUATE AND PROCESS INFORMATION DERIVING FROM SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES, TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC REPORTS AND OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON TOPICS RELATED TO ECOTOXICOLOGY: -AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT: AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVALUATE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE COURSE CONTENTS. -COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH TERMS AND SCIENTIFIC RIGOR RESULTS, THEORIES, CONCEPTS IN THE ECOTOXICOLOGICAL FIELD. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION MODULE (PROF MOTTA): LECTURES ON THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE COURSE ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY BUT STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. HYGIENE AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY MODULE (FRANCESCO GUARINO) THE COURSE INCLUDES 48 HOURS OF TEACHING AND IS STRUCTURED INTO THEORETICAL LESSONS ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY BUT STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS MODULE (PROF MOTTA): TTHE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TEACHING IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMIMATION. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW ON THE CONTENT INDICATED IN THE PROGRAM OF THE CLASS AND IS AIMED AT VERIFYING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS VERIFYING THE CAPACITY OF EXPOSURE AND ORGANIZE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE CLASS. THE MINIMUM VOTE FOR PASSING THE EXAMINATION IS 18/30, AND IT IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT MATTERS THE MAXIMUM VOTE (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND APPROPRIATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS RELATED TO THE TEACHING AND WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY ACQUIRED ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE, FROM THE ABILITY TO GO INTO DEPTH DEMONSTRATED, THE QUALITY OF EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE, AND THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED. HONORS MAY BE AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM GRADE OF 30/30 AND WHO DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO INDEPENDENTLY APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS EVEN IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED IN CLASS. HYGIENE AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY MODULE (FRANCESCO GUARINO) THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING COURSE WILL BE VERIFIED BY A TEST. THIS TEST CONSTISTS ON: I) A WRITTEN TEST, BASED ON QUESTIONS WITH MULTIPLE ANSWERS; II) AN ORAL TEST, AIMED TO EVALUATE THEIR ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE TOPICS PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER DURING THE COURSE. THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS. THE MINIMUM MARK FOR PASSING THE EXAM IS 18/30, AND IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECOTOXICOLOGY (E.G., CALCULATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK, MAIN BIOMONITORING TOOLS, BIOINDICATORS AND BIOACCUMULATORS, ETC.). THE MAXIMUM VOTE (30) IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECOTOXICOLOGY AND IS ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE MASTERY IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM TOPICS USING AN ADEQUATE LEXICON. PRAISE MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS WHO REACH THE MAXIMUM VOTE OF 30/30 AND WHO SHOW TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH ADEQUATE TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC LEXICON THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED. |
