Risultati di apprendimento attesi

Knowledge and understanding

The students will learn the fundamental laws of Classical Mechanics and Classical Thermodynamics. 

Applying knowledge and understanding

The students will learn how to apply the laws of Physics in the field of Motor and Sport Activity Sciences.

Making judgements

At the end of the course, the students will have to demonstrate to have learned the basic notions and methods of Classical Physics, to have reached the knowledge and skills to understand a problem so to be able to give an independent judgement on the problems themselves.

Communication skills

At the end of the course, the students will have to be able to communicate about simple Classical Physics problems, formulating the problems themselves in their own words and explaining the solution of the problems.

Learning skills

During the course, the students will have the chance to improve organization, time management, notetaking, active listening, public speaking, critical-thinking, evaluation, text interpretation, annotative reading, problem solving, curiosity, open-mindedness.
