AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The teaching module gives the student the ability to critically deal with some basic problems. 
The course also allows the student to make a careful choice of materials considering the assessment of the environmental impact.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The written test consists in solving some problems, similar to those treated during the lectures, and in response to some questions of theory, always addressed during the lectures.

• During the exam the student can only use the periodic table that will be provided.
• The student cannot go out during the written examination.
• Who gets a score greater than or equal to 18 can accept the vote (exam passed) or make an oral examination.
• Who gets a score equal to 16 or 17 must take the oral examination. If this is positive, the student passes the exam, otherwise he must re-take the written exam in the summer or winter sessions.
• Who gets a vote, although sufficient, may decide to repeat the examination in subsequent sessions. Warning: those who take an exam, permanently lose the vote of the previous examination.
• Oral examination can increase the vote, but the student can also be rejected, losing in this case the vote of the written exam and then having to re-take the exam in subsequent sessions.

NB: In order to take the exam the student must register ON-LINE.
