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. |
Prerequisites | |

Teaching Methods | |
---|---|
THE COURSE INCLUDES LECTURES FOR A TOTAL OF 72 HOURS. CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. IN ORDER TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 75% OF THE TEACHING HOURS. THE MODE OF VERIFICATION OF PRESENCE IS MADE KNOWN BY THE TEACHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS. |
Verification of learning | |
---|---|
PHYSICS MODULE. THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A SELF-EVALUATION TEST, CONSISTING OF A SET OF MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS. IF THE RESULT IS HIGHER THAN 18/30 THE RESULT CAN BE EITHER ACCEPTED OR INTEGRATED, DEPENDING ON THE STUDENT WILL, IN CASE OF A RESULT HIGHER THAN 18/30, BUT DEEMED UNSATISFACTORY. THE INTEGRATION CONSISTS IN AN ORAL INTERVIEW AIMED AT ASSESSING THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE AND HIS EXPRESSION ABILITY. BIOCHEMISTRY MODULE: THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH A GRADE OUT OF THIRTY. THE FINAL EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST AND, IF NECESSARY, AN ORAL INTERVIEW AIMED AT ASSESSING THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE AND THEIR PRESENTATION SKILLS. STATISTICS MODULE: THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A WRITTEN EXAM CONSISTING OF A MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST. IF THE RESULT IS HIGHER THAN 18/30 BUT CONSIDERED UNSATISFACTORY, THE STUDENT HAS THE OPTION TO INTEGRATE IT WITH AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE EVALUATION IS EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS. THE TEST GLOBALLY ALLOWS TO ASSESS THE CAPABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, AND THE CAPABILITY TO EXPLAIN AND TO PROCESS SOLUTIONS WITH AN INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT. THE TEACHERS HOLDING THE COORDINATED MODULES PARTICIPATE IN THE OVERALL COLLEGIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE STUDENT'S PROFIT. |
