Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical classes are semi-magisterial in nature. With a view to promoting the relationship between the subjects and highlighting the interest and presence of the various types of materials in society, the teacher uses examples of application of different types of materials in different fields, requiring and encouraging the participation of students. The laboratory classes are experimental in nature and the student, based on the protocol, prepares, performs and analyzes the results of the synthesis and characterization of some ceramic and polymeric materials. Students also carry out a monograph/seminar on a material, which is presented orally and discussed.
