	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE (HARDWARE) AND OPERATION (SOFTWARE) OF COMPUTERS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES OF INTEREST TO THE COURSE OF STUDY. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: - THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE OF A COMPUTER; - THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE SEVEN INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION OF DIGITAL LITERACY (ICDL) MODULES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO: - WORD PROCESSING; - DEFINITION AND STRUCTURE OF A SPREADSHEET, AND RELATED CALCULATION FUNCTIONS IN THE MICROSOFT EXCEL TOOL, STATISTICAL FUNCTIONS AND CHARTING IN MICROSOFT EXCEL; - PRESENTATION TOOLS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED FOR THE SELECTION (FOR HARDWARE PERFORMANCE AND SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT) OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES SUITED TO THE TYPE OF DIGITAL ACTIVITY TO BE CARRIED OUT (COMPUTING, EDITING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS); - TO EXTEND AND DEEPEN AUTONOMOUSLY SPECIFIC COMPUTER SKILLS USEFUL FOR STUDY, RESEARCH AND PROFESSION.

	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING INVOLVES 24 HOURS (3 CFU). THE COURSE INCLUDES LECTURES AND COMPUTER-BASED EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM OE IN THE MULTIMEDIA LABORATORY OF THE PHARMACY DEPARTMENT. THE TEACHING METHOD MAKES USE OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF PROJECTED SLIDES TO GUIDE THE COURSE AND THE ADOPTION OF TEXTS DEDICATED TO THE IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE TOPICS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE. ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES AND TUTORIALS IS MANDATORY. VERIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE IS ELECTRONICALLY DETECTED AS PLANNED BY ATHENAEUM (EASYBADGE PLATFORM)

	Verification of learning
	THE ASSESSMENT OF COMPETENCE WILL BE DEFINED BY A POSITIVE MARK (WITHOUT GRADE). TESTING OF LEARNING WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH THEORETICAL TESTS (MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS) AND PRACTICAL TESTS TO BE CARRIED OUT IN THE COMPUTER LABORATORY EVALUATED BY ADEQUACY JUDGMENT (PASSED/NOT PASSED). THEORETICAL TESTS WILL CONSIST OF 15 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS. PRACTICAL TEST WILL CONSIST OF APPLYING THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN QUESTIONS INVOLVING WORD PROCESSING, SPREADSHEETS, THEME PRESENTATION. THE TOTAL DURATION OF BOTH TESTS IS 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES. THERE IS ALSO AN IN ITINERE TEST ON THE THEORETICAL PART OF THE EXAM SCHEDULE (15 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS) WHICH, IF PASSED, EXEMPTS STUDENTS FROM THE THEORETICAL PART OF THE FINAL EXAMINATION (DURATION: 45 MINUTES). SUCH A TEST IS USUALLY SCHEDULED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURSE. IT IS, ALSO, PROVIDED FOR A SECOND TEST IN ITINERE, USUALLY SCHEDULED IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE COURSE, AIMED TO VERIFY THE LEARNING OF THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN QUESTIONS INVOLVING WORD PROCESSING, SPREADSHEETS, THEME PRESENTATION (DURATION: 45 MINUTES). IF PASSED, IT ALLOWS ACCESS TO THE FINAL EXAMINATION THAT WILL CONSIST IN A DISCUSSION AND INTEGRATION OF THE EXAMINATIONS IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE FOR ANY CRITICAL ISSUES. THE TESTS WILL TEST THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE COURSE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES.
