Objectives
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE BASIS OF PHYSICS , BIOCHEMISTRY AND STATISTICS TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF THE DEGREE COURSE IN FISIOTERAPY. IN PARTICULAR, THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE DURING THE COURSE ARE:


KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ISSUES OF PHYSICS, BIOCHEMISTRY AND STATISTICS CRITICALLY UNDERSTANDING ALSO LIMITS OF VALIDITY AND APPLICABILITY IN REAL CONTEXTS (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING).

ABILITY TO APPLY THE MODELS OF PHYSICS, BIOCHEMISTRY 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).

ABILITY TO INTEGRATE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE INFORMATION IN THE APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS, BIOCHEMISTRY AND STATISTICS (INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT).

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

ABILITY TO EXPAND AND DEEPEN THE THEMES OF PHYSICS, BIOCHEMISTRY 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.
Prerequisites
THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ACQUIRED THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICS AND GEOMETRY PROVIDED BY NORMAL STUDY PROGRAMS OF HIGH SCHOOLS.

THEORY OF ERRORS: MEASUREMENT ERRORS; SYSTEMATIC ERRORS; ACCIDENTAL ERRORS; INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS; ERROR PROPAGATION.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE (6 CFU) CONSISTS OF LECTURES.

ATTENDANCE TO LECTURES IS MANDATORY. TO DO THE FINAL EXAM THE STUDENT MUST HAVE AT LEAST 75% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE HOURS. THE MODE OF CHECKING THE ATTENDANCE IS MADE KNOWN BY THE PROFESSOR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE IS CERTIFIED BY THE EXTENSION OF AN EXAMINATION WITH EVALUATION IN THIRTIETHS. THE TEST GLOBALLY ALLOWS TO ASSESS THE CAPABILITY OF KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION, THE CAPBILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, THE CAPABILITY OF EXPOSURE AND THE CAPABILITY TO EXPLAIN AND TO PROCESS SOLUTIONS WITH AN INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT. THE LECTURERS OF THE COORDINATED MODULES PARTICIPATE TO THE COLLEGAL ASSESSMENT OF THE STUDENT PROFIT.
