CHEMISTRY OF FOODS AND DIETARY PRODUCTS
The basic learning are verified by a short written test at approximately 2/3 of the course. At the end students are invited to prepare a short presentation about a subject that stimulates their interest and then they talk and discuss it in the classroom in front of their student partners and the teacher, which evaluates their ability to connect and integrate the whole teaching program. Should the student be unsatisfied of the evaluation emerging form these two texts, he/she can sit an oral exam .
Both the acquisition of a basic learning of food chemistry and the student's ability to connect the different addressed issues are assessed.
