Learning outcomes
At the end of the activity carried out in an external or internal university structure, the student: - possesses practical knowledge of instrumental hardware or software or bibliographic research also via the web possibly preparatory to the final exam; - is able to better organize his/her work activity.
Course contents
In order to complete the second year study plan, all students must enter 12 credits in the "Activities in preparation for the final exam" selection group. In this selection group, it is possible to choose between an "Internship in preparation for the final exam", to be carried out in Italy or abroad, at the University of Bologna or external institutions or companies, and the "B2372 Preparatory activity for the final exam", which can be carried out, provided it is not continuous, in premises (excluding laboratories) of the University of Bologna. With the "Preparatory activity for the final exam", the student acquires the knowledge to critically analyze the results of a research and to undertake the theoretical and/or experimental study of a topic related to the Physics of the Earth System, which will be the subject of discussion in the final exam. This activity could be that of "extensive bibliographic research" and/or "acquisition of skills relating to a particular software tool" or the use of a complex experimental apparatus.
Assessment methods
At the end of the activity, in order to have the related training credits recognized, the student must ask the thesis supervisor to fill out and sign the 'Final Certificate' form and forward it scanned to the teaching support service (scienzecittadella.didattica@unibo.it ) by the thesis upload deadline. In the final certificate, the supervisor can write: "extensive bibliographic research" and/or "acquisition of skills related to a particular software tool" or the use of a complex experimental apparatus. It is not advisable to write the title of the thesis or the topic of the thesis in the certificate because this activity serves to prepare the student to carry out the thesis and therefore does not coincide with the thesis activity. The outcome is verbalized in the form of suitability.
