SCIENZE DI BASE

Module FISICA

Face-to-face lessons.

Cooperative teaching (student-teacher) through the sharing of teaching materials and multimedia.

If teaching is taught in a blended or distance learning format, necessary changes may be made to the previously stated curriculum in order to comply with the planned program outlined in the Syllabus.

Physical quantities and their measurement: Physical quantities, units and systems of measurement. Measuring instruments. Systematic errors and random errors. Mean and standard deviation. Functional relations and graphical representations. Scalar and vector quantities. Operations between vectors.

Principles of Mechanics: Kinematics in one and two dimensions. Uniform motion and uniformly accelerated motion. Maximum range of a projectile. Circular motion and harmonic motion. Principles of dynamics. Gravity. Work done by conservative forces. Kinetic and potential energy. Principle of conservation of mechanical energy. Spring forces. Harmonic oscillator. Power and efficiency.

Knowledge acquired is assessed through a written exam and, if necessary, an oral exam. The grade for each exam will be expressed in thirtieths, up to a maximum of 30/30 with honors.

The written exam consists of exercises in the form of multiple-choice questions on topics covered in the syllabus and of the same difficulty level as those covered during the course. Students who achieve a passing grade (18/30) and wish to improve their written exam grade may proceed to the oral exam.

Overall, the two exams will assess: i) the student's knowledge of the subject matter; ii) the ability to apply this knowledge to solve specific problems related to the applications of interest (problem solving and independent judgment); iii) clarity of presentation; iv) command of language.Assessment may also be conducted online, if circumstances require.

The following criteria will be taken into account when assigning the final grade:

Grade 29-30 with honors: The student has an in-depth knowledge of the topics covered, is able to promptly and correctly integrate and critically analyze the situations presented, independently solving even highly complex problems; has excellent communication skills and masters medical-scientific language.

Grade 26-28: The student has a good knowledge of the topics covered, is able to integrate and critically analyze the situations presented in a linear and coherent manner, is able to solve complex problems fairly independently, and presents the arguments clearly using appropriate medical-scientific language.

Grade 22-25: The student has a fair knowledge of the topics covered, although limited to the main topics; is able to integrate and critically analyze the situations presented in a non-linear manner, and presents the arguments fairly clearly with reasonable command of the language.

Grade 18-21: The student has minimal knowledge of the topics covered, has a modest ability to integrate and critically analyze the presented situations, and presents the arguments sufficiently clearly, although their command of language is poorly developed.

Failed exam: The student does not possess the minimum required knowledge of the main content of the course. Their ability to use specific language is very limited or nonexistent, and they are unable to independently apply the acquired knowledge.
