	Objectives
	EDUCATIONAL GOALS: THE COURSE CONTAINS BASIC ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, STATISTICS, THEORY OF PROBABILITY AND DATA ANALYSIS WITH THE AIM OF PROVIDING TO THE STUDENTS A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THESE DISCIPLINES. KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE INTENDS TO PROVIDE, IN A CONCISE AND PROPER WAY FOR THE APPLICATIONS, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC NOTIONS AND APPLICATIONS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, STATISTICS, THEORY OF PROBABILITY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO DATA ANALYSIS IN LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE PROVIDES THE STUDENT WITH THEORETICAL TOOLS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY BASIC CONCEPTS OF STATISTICS AND THEORY OF PROBABILITY IN LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS. . COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY: THE COURSE WILL PROVIDE TO STUDENTS THE CAPABILITY OF EXPOSING IN A CLEAR AND RIGOROUS WAY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT HAS TO BE ABLE TO ENUNCIATE IN A CORRECT WAY DEFINITIONS, PROBLEMS AND THEOREMS CONCERNING THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE ITSELF. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: THE STUDENTS ARE DRIVEN TO LEARN IN A CRITICAL AND RESPONSIBLE WAY ALL THE ARGUMENTS EXPOSED DURING CLASS LECTURES AND TO ENRICH HIS/HER OWN ABILITIES OF JUDGMENT THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE DIDACTIC MATERIAL POINTED OUT BY THE LECTURERS.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE CERTIFIED BY A WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAM WITH GRADES ON A SCALE OF 30. THE FINAL SCRIPT INCLUDES 2 EXERCISES TO BE PERFORMED IN 2 HOURS; STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE ORAL EXAM IF THE GRADES OF WRITTEN TEST ARE AT LEAST 18/30. INTERMEDIATE SCRIPT EXAMINATIONS OF 1/2 HOURS WITH TWO PROBLEMS CAN BE SCHEDULED DURING THE COURSE; THOSE WHO REACH THE FINAL AVERAGE OF AT LEAST 18/30 MAY OPT TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE FINAL ORAL EXAM. THE EXAM IS ORGANIZED IN ORDER TO FULLY ASCERTAIN THE CANDIDATE'S KNOWLEDGE WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO HIS/HER ABILITY TO FULLY EXHIBIT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TOPICS OF THE STUDIED ARGUMENTS WITH A GOOD LEVEL OF CLARITY IN THE PRESENTATION OF THE TOPICS. FOR THE STATISTICS COURSE, EXERCISE SHEETS ARE PROVIDED EVERY WEEK AND STUDENTS MUST HAND IN 3 SCIENTIFIC REPORTS FOR THE LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS. ONLY THOSE WHO HAND IN ALL EXERCISE SHEETS CAN DO ONLY THE ORLA EXAM.
