Objectives
THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ISSUES OF PHYSICS AND STATISTICS CRITICALLY UNDERSTANDING ALSO LIMITS OF VALIDITY AND APPLICABILITY IN REAL CONTEXTS (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING).

THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY APPLY THE MODELS OF PHYSICS AND STATISTICS TO QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF REAL CASES IN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS OF INTEREST TO THE DEGREE COURSE, ALSO IN CONNECTION TO THEIR INTRINSIC APPROXIMATIONS (APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING).

THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE INFORMATION IN THE APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND STATISTICS (INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT).

THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO PRESENT TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE OF PHYSICS AND STATISTICS WITH PROPERTIES AND SIMPLICITY OF LANGUAGE, AIMED ALSO TO A CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF CONTENTS AND RESULTS IN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS (COMMUNICATION).

THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE SKILLS ALLOWING HIM TO EXPANDING AND DEEPENING THE THEMES OF PHYSICS AND STATISTICS AND THEIR INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS IN AN AUTONOMOUS WAY (LEARNING SKILLS).
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW THE STRUCTURE OF THE MAIN MOLECULES OF BIOCHEMICAL INTEREST AND HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF BIOENERGETICS FOR THE STUDY OF METABOLISM. MOREOVER IT SHOULD KNOW THE MAIN TECHNOLOGIES USED IN MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS.
