OVERVIEW

The  course of Physics consists of a selection of the most relevant topics for students  “Scienze Motorie”

It will bring students to face problems in a quantitative approach.

The course is divided into modules, each of which contains teaching units, transparencies, files and exercises.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This learning module aims to study the fundamentals of physics, is preparatory to bioengineering, the discipline with which it is integrated

LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO)

The course aims to bring students to face the problems with a proper quantitative view.


It requires the student to take lessons, to understand the arguments of the related slides and resolve preparedness exercises.


The student must learn the main elements of mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, wave phenomena, and light, atomic and nuclear physics, with particular reference to topics of greatest importance for students to study courses in Life Sciences.

Students will learn how to relate the topics of lectures on the AulaWeb site with the ability to solve simple physical exercises. For this purpose, they are provided numerous application examples and exercises. You will be able to know how to apply mathematical and geometric knowledge to the proposed physical problems.

The student will have to overcome the self-assessment tests to achieve the "badge" that allows you to take the examination.

Only the ability to correctly interpret the claims submitted in the form of numerical exercises and quizzes can provide students you understand the topics of lectures. The student must acquire the ability to understand and correlate rather than relying on only mnemonic acquisition.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures - AulaWeb site - exercises - exercises from books -

Written exam in the form of multiple choice quizzes or open.
