The program of the course will be carried out with frontal lessons characterized by a strong interactivity during which the active participation of the students in required also thematic insights proposed by the teacher. To support the teaching, some discussions will be launched to facilitate the identification of the connections between the various topics covered. It’s planned an activity on field. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods for carrying out teaching activities will be implemented. In particular, the methods of live online lessons will be applied through the Teams platform.Attendance
Attendance is in the classroom and some excursions are planned for field activities or visits to laboratories.Type of evaluation
Student learning is assessed via an oral examination. The exam aims to verify the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, with particular reference to knowledge of the principles of applied geology, the ability to interpret geological, geomorphological, and hydrogeological data, independent judgment in analyzing territorial issues, and the appropriate use of technical-scientific terminology.
