Computer Skills, Statistics and Data Management in the Winery

The 3 modules (statistical skills, computer science skills and data management skills in winery) are developed in serial mode, with the following details.
1) Module: "Statistical Skills": the module begins with a series of classroom lectures introducing the fundamentals of descriptive and inferential statistics. This is followed by practical exercises aimed at applying the concepts covered during the lectures. Particular emphasis is placed on developing students' skills in consulting widely used scientific databases. The teaching methods are designed to provide students with foundational yet practical knowledge of the subject, ensuring its applicability in the subsequent module. All activities are conducted in the classroom.
2) Module: "Computer Science Skills": the teaching activities in this module aim to equip students with proficiency in using the statistical functions of MS Excel, building on the content introduced in the previous module. Specifically, the module begins with an in-depth exploration of Excel's advanced functions, particularly those related to statistical analysis. Subsequent lessons focus on the preparation of PowerPoint presentations, emphasizing both traditional content structuring and the comprehensibility and visual appeal of the materials. The teaching methods aim to enable students to effectively present study findings and research results, with special attention to the final thesis presentation at the end of the three-year degree program. All activities are conducted in the classroom.
3) Data Management Skills in Winery": the module includes lectures, in-depth seminars, in-class and field exercises, and educational visits. Details in the following. Lectures: provide the analytical and theoretical knowledge necessary to understand the key aspects of a winery and its activities. This foundation prepares students to undertake the subsequent institutional internship with maximum awareness and effectiveness. Seminars: designed to stimulate critical thinking and deeper exploration of specific topics. In-class and field exercises: enhance students' ability to analyze practical aspects of data collection relevant to describing a winery business. Practical exercises enable students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts, both in the classroom and in the field. This teaching approach directly supports the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, particularly in analyzing the multiple descriptors of a winery business and its activities across different territorial contexts, with a focus on the internship period. Field visits and winery tours: offer a real-world context to observe and understand the practical application of classroom knowledge, contributing to the development of practical and applied skills.
