- Providing a basic theoretical ground for the comprehension of molecular modeling techniques currently used in the field of life and material sciences

- Developing competencies in some of the most common computational methodologies used in molecular sciences

- Developing computational skills through tutorials and exercises 

- Stimulating the students to study a scientific problem of their interest suitable to be treated with molecular modeling methodologies

Knowledge will be assessed via:

• ongoing assignments
• final oral exam

After the completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• Demonstrate effective communication skills through scientific presentations and reports
• Demonstrate the capability of understanding the scientific literature.

Skills will be assessed via:

• ongoing group assignments
• final oral exam

After the completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• understand the main computational methodologies used to study molecular systems.
• suggest a scientific problem of their interest suitable to be treated with molecular modeling methodologies.
• develop basic computational skills in molecular modeling through computational exercises.

Behaviors will be assessed via:

• ongoing group assignments
• final oral exam
