Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will acquire the necessary background to understand the physico-chemical phenomena occurring in micro and nanosystems and in self-assembling systems. He or she will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the peculiar behavior of dispersed systems and interfaces, which is necessary for a correct comprehension of many phenomena, significant in respect to both theoretical and practical interest. The student will be aware of the role played by the interfaces in heterogeneous systems.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The assessment aims to ascertain if the student has acquire the knowledge of the basic tools for approaching to problems occurring in the field of systems with a large interface. He or she must know the most important phenomena affecting the stability and dynamics of dispersed systems. During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and discuss the main course contents thoughtfully and with propriety of expression. With the oral presentation, to be made to the teacher and the other students, the student must demonstrate the ability to approach a circumscribed problem and organise an effective exposition of the topic.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Oral report

Further information:
The final assessment is constituted by an oral report on a topic selected by the student among the course contents. The examination is passed if the student gets at least 18/30 marking.
