Type of delivery of the course
56 hr class; 48 hr field workAttendance
The 56 hours of lectures are dedicated to deepening the aspects of the program through ppt presentations, watching videos and class discussion The field work is organized in a 6-day camp in the areas of active and quiescent volcanism with practical work on the outcropsType of evaluation
The exam focuses on the topics of the classroom program, on the field activities carried out during the camp and on volcanic materials (rock samples, photographs, videos) from which to deduce the degree of learning and the processing ability of the candidates.Programme
