Learning objectives

The Integrated Course of Physical and Experimental Sciences
aims to provide to the students a solid knowledge and understanding of both the experimental method, and
the topics specified in the programs of the single modules.
The course also aims to develop the students' capability to apply such
knowledge and understanding in further University studies, in continuing
education and in their future professional expertise.

Teaching methods

Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and will include slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures.

Assessment methods and criteria

The achievement of the objectives of the Integrated Course will be
assessed through oral or written exams, or practice tests, depending on
the specificity of the objectives of each module, and will consider the capabiliry of students to approach natural phenomena with a scientific methodology. More details are reported
in the description of each module.
The global evaluation, in thirtieths, will be based on the average of the results of single
Modules.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
structured written test conducted remotely (by Teams and Elly). The test consists of 30 multiple choice questions on the course contents (reference texts + documents uploaded to Elly during the course). There is no penalty for incorrect answers.
The final mark, reported directly on Esse3, will correspond to the arithmetic average of the assessments obtained in the written test.
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact Le Eli-che: support for students with disabilities, D.S.A., B.E.S. (https://sea.unipr.it/it/servizi/le-eli-che-supporto-studenti-con-disabilita-dsa-bes).
