	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE INCLUDES LESSONS (80 HOURS/8 CFU) AND EXERCISES, IN THE CLASSROOM AND/OR LABORATORY, AND TECHNICAL VISITS (40 HOURS/4 CFU). THE COURSE INCLUDES LECTURES AND CLASSROOM-BASED TESTS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AIM OF STIMULATING THEIR PROACTIVE PARTICIPATION. DURING CLASSROOM-BASED TESTS A PROBLEM TO SOLVE IS GIVEN, AND THE INSTRUCTOR/TA MAKES A CASE OF HOW TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM; THE MAIN GOAL IS TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTIES STUDENTS MIGHT FACE DUE TO LACKING KNOWLEDGE OF CONCEPTS OR TO A POOR PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THEM TO TEST THEIR LEARNING LEVEL.

	Verification of learning
	THE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES WILL BE CARRIED OUT AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND IT WILL CONSIST OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE INTERVIEW WILL BE ADDRESSED TO EVALUATE: THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LOGIC OF THE DISCIPLINE; ABILITY TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION OF BASIC CONCEPTS TO SOLVE ISSUES IN NEW APPLICATIONS, PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY OF THE DISCIPLINE. THE MINIMUM LEVEL IN THE EVALUATION (18/30) IS PROPOSED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS A FRAGMENTED KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORICAL CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AS WELL AS A LIMITED CAPABILITY IN APPLYING THEORIC CONCEPTS TO A STUDY CONTEXT. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30/30) IS PROPOSED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS COMPREHENSIVE AND EXHAUSTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODS AND TOOLS AND IS ABLE TO USE THEM PROPERLY IN A STUDY CONTEXT. FOR THE LAUDE, THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT: -USE OF PROPER TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE; -HIGH ABILITY OF MAKING INDIVIDUAL JUDGEMENTS; -CAPABILITY OF IDENTIFYING CORRELATION AMONG DIFFERENT TOPICS AND/OR WITH DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.
