The course will take place with classroom lectures.Attendance
Frequency at lessons is not mandatory but is highly recommended.Type of evaluation
The evaluation is based on the results deriving from a written and an oral exam. The written exam consists in a test of 30 questions that include open, closed answers and image recognition. Based on the right answers, a score will be given. The oral exam, to which one is admitted only if the vote of 18 in the written exam is reached, consists in asking the student for topics related to the course program. During the oral exam, the realization of an herbarium composed of dried plant specimens will also be evaluated. The final score will be awarded by calculating the average between the two exams.
