|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS AIMING TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A SOLID KNOWLEDGE OF HERBAL PRODUCTS, BOTH FROM A CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW. IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE WILL FOCUS ON THE THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS, THE EXTRACTION OF ACTIVE PRINCIPLES, AND THEIR FORMULATION INTO HERBAL PRODUCTS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE: - AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTIVE PRINCIPLES PRESENT IN MEDICINAL PLANTS AND THE EXTRACTION METHODS USED TO OBTAIN HIGH-QUALITY HERBAL PRODUCTS. - THE ABILITY TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON HERBAL PRODUCTS AND USE ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THEIR CHARACTERIZATION. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - IDENTIFY MEDICINAL PLANTS AND HERBAL PRODUCTS, KNOW THEIR PROPERTIES AND THEIR POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION; - EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF HERBAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS; - CORRECTLY USE HERBAL PRODUCTS IN THERAPEUTIC SETTINGS, EVEN IN COMBINATION WITH CONVENTIONAL DRUGS. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE TEACHING METHOD IS BASED ON LESSONS, IN WHICH THE TEACHING TOPICS ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED WITH THE CONTRIBUTION OF PROJECTED SLIDES GUIDED BY THE STUDENT AND ON PRACTICAL LABORATORY EXERCISES. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAMINATIONS AIM TO VERIFY THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES. THE PROCEDURES FOR VERIFYING LEARNING TAKE PLACE THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW AND THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECTS PRODUCED FOLLOWING THE PROPOSED LABORATORY EXERCISES. THE OVERALL JUDGMENT WILL DETERMINE THE FINAL MARK IN THIRTY. |
