Readings/Bibliography

 The student is informed that the in-depth study of the topics requires constant updating related to new instrumental technologies and scientific evidence regarding the different application methodologies. Precisely for this reason and also due to the multiplicity of topics, the lessons will take place with the aid of slides which will act as a reference for further in-depth analysis with the recommended texts. To follow the lessons it is advisable to refer to the teaching material deposited during the previous academic year and then integrate it with the lessons held in the classroom.

The course does not have a single reference text. However, a useful volume is the following:

Oral exam

The student will be asked two main questions relating to the topics included in the program, carried out during the lessons. The assessment of the student's preparation may make use of additional questions aimed at examining aspects relating to the main questions in greater depth.

Passing the exam will be guaranteed to students who demonstrate mastery and operational ability in relation to the key concepts illustrated in the teaching, and in particular the ability to understand and manage the complexity of the subject in a project-wise manner. A higher score will be awarded to students who demonstrate that they have understood and are able to use all the contents of the teaching, illustrating them with ability and peculiar language skills, solving even complex issues, showing good operational control, etc. Failure to pass the exam may be due to insufficient knowledge of the key concepts, lack of mastery of the specific technical language and lack of or insufficient operational ability.

Only students who have registered within the established deadlines on almaesami are eligible to take the exam

During the academic year there will be seven exam sessions:
