Course syllabus
All topics covered during the three years of study.
Prerequisites for admission
The student must have all the professional knowledge acquired by all the exams foreseen in the study plan. In particular, the student is admitted to the final exam after having successfully passed the examinations of all the training and internship activities provided for in the study plan, for a total of 173 CFU.
Teaching methods
The practical test consists of the presentation of cases/situations of professional practice for which closed and/or open-ended questions are provided. The written test is then supplemented by an oral exam.
The types of thesis are:
a) compilation thesis (or bibliography), which aims to analyze the state of the art on a topic through a narrative review of the literature;
b) experimental (or research) thesis, which aims to perform a detailed experimental project in all its aspects (sample size, outcome measurements, statistical analysis);
c) argumentative thesis, which does not collect experimental data but nevertheless establishes the methodology (sample size, outcome measurements, statistical analysis) to respond to an experimental question.
In the preparation of the thesis the student will be supervised by a teacher of the CdS, who will play the role of Speaker, and eventual a Correlator.
The oral dissertation of the thesis is carried out in the presence of the Commission, usually with a time limit not exceeding 15 minutes.
Evaluation of the final test:
According to the Teaching Regulations, the definition of the degree vote expressed in one hundred tenths (with possible Lode).
