Teaching methods

Theoretical and practical lessons, as well as field investigations will be carried out in order to explain the main topics of the discipline and allow students to carry out and manage field and lab studies.

Assessment methods and criteria

During the course, several problems will be analysed and solved by the students, to simulate the solution of scientific and professional scenarios. This approach allows the students growth also in terms of technical and scientific language.
The final evaluation is an oral exam. During the exam, different problems must be solved by the students. The exam is made of five questions at least, to explore the main topics of the program. The laude can be acquired in case of outstanding capacity of problem solving.
