TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD PAOLO OLIVERI Ricevimento: In the Section of Pharmaceutical and Food Chemistry and Technologies of the Department of Pharmacy – DIFAR (Viale Cembrano, 4), upon appointment, to be agreed by e-mail (oliveri@difar.unige.it) o by phone (010 3532626). Exam Board PAOLO OLIVERI (President) MONICA CASALE RICCARDO LEARDI CRISTINA MALEGORI LESSONS LESSONS START March 1, 2018 Class schedule ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL OF QUALITY EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Oral. ASSESSMENT METHODS The course does not require midterm. The credits will be acquired by passing an oral examination. The oral examination is always conducted by two faculty members and has a duration of at least 30 minutes. With these modes, the commission is able to verify with high accuracy to achieve the educational objectives of teaching by putting different questions related to the program actually carried out during the course. When the educational objectives are not achieved, the student is invited to deepen his knowledge and to use any further explanation by the lecturer.
