VITICULTURE

Expected learning outcomes according to the Dublin descriptors:

Knowledge and understanding abilities: knowledge of the morphology and physiology of the vine to understand the mechanisms for correct vineyard management

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding abilities: apply the knowledge acquired to interpret specific aspects of vine development and the soil and climatic factors that influence their productive and qualitative performance

Making judgements: ability to interpret the relationships between the environment and the plant necessary to optimize physiological processes and overcome environmental stresses

Communication skills: ability to analyze, communicate, and discuss the evolution and issues of viticulture at a regional, national, and global level

Learning skills: independently develop the skills acquired to analyze case studies relating to the wine sector and make connections with other subjects of the degree course.

If conditions require teaching given in a hybrid mode or remotely, necessary changes may be introduced to what previously stated in order to comply with the program.

Information for students with disabilities and/or learning disorders.

As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current regulations, students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on learning objectives of the discipline. It is also possible to refer to the departmental contacts of CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Inclusion - Services for Disabilities and/or learning disorders)

The teacher will be able to provide additional teaching materials on the Studium platform that are useful for training and further study. 

Learning will be assessed with 3-4 questions during an oral exam. The exam is designed to assess the student's level of knowledge and understanding of the content outlined in the syllabus.Student preparation will be assessed based on the following criteria: learning ability and depth of understanding of the topics covered, ability to summarize and present, and the student's reasoning skills.

The vote follows the following scheme:

Knowledge and understanding of the topic: At the threshold level. Obvious imperfections

Analysis and synthesis skills: Just enough skills

Use of references: just appropriate

21-23

Knowledge and understanding of the topic: Routine knowledge

Ability to analyze and synthesize: ability of correct analysis and synthesis. Argue logically and consistently

Using references: Use standard references

24-26

Knowledge and understanding of the topic: Good knowledge

Analysis and synthesis skills: good analysis and synthesis skills. The arguments are expressed consistently

Using references: Use of standard references

27-29
