Degree Course: Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
A.Y. 2019/2020 
Autonomia di giudizio
Il futuro laureato acquisisce durante il percorso formativo la capacità di raccogliere, interpretare ed elaborare criticamente le informazioni e i dati raccolti, ed è in grado di formulare giudizi autonomi e muoversi responsabilmente nell'attività lavorativa, con la dovuta attenzione ai temi sociali, scientifici o etici presenti.
Tale autonomia di giudizio viene sviluppata mediante tutte quelle attività che richiedono allo studente un impegno personale, quali la produzione di elaborati scritti individuali, in singoli insegnamenti o per l'elaborato richiesto per la prova finale, e anche dal confronto di conoscenze e di idee nell'ambito di attività di gruppo interdisciplinari (laboratori, esercitazioni fuori sede).
La stessa prova finale esercita lo studente all'autonomia di giudizio: reperimento fonti, utilizzazione delle stesse, sintesi dei dati e delle informazioni acquisite.
Essenziale tuttavia è che lo spirito critico degli studenti sia incentivato e che la disponibilità degli studenti a questo riguardo sia esplicita.
L'autonomia di giudizio non è facilmente esplicitabile senza un terreno fertile, anche per i problemi più strettamente tecnico-scientifici.Abilità comunicative
I laureati sono in grado di comunicare informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni relativi alla loro formazione tecnico-scientifica acquisita e sperimentata nel corso delle verifiche di esame.
Sono in grado di interagire adeguatamente con interlucotori specialisti e non specialisti e in grado di utilizzare i principali mezzi di comunicazione, anche quelli informatici.
L'abilità comunicative sono valutate e misurate nelle prove di esame, negli elaborati scritti eventuali, nella presentazione dell'elaborato finale dinanzi alla Commissione di laurea.
L'abilità comunicativa è qualcosa che si esercita nei tre anni di corso di studio ed in una certa misura si estrinseca anche nel voto di laurea.
E' questa una capacità che non si insegna esplicitamente nei diversi insegnamenti, ma si impara anche dai docenti in aula nel loro modo di rapportarsi alla materia e dalla rispondenza dei materiali didattici forniti.Capacità di apprendimento
I laureati sviluppano necessariamente una capacità di apprendimento durante il percorso formativo superando ed acquisendo i CFU previsti dal piano di studio.
Sulla base dell'esperienza pregressa la quasi totalità dei laureati del corso di I livello prosegue nella laurea di II livello laureandosi in tempi rapidi e con pochi abbandoni.
Ciò è la prova della capacità di apprendimento che hanno sviluppato quasi come una sorta di allenamento e selezione allo sforzo intellettuale.
La capacità di apprendimento complessiva è misurata dal voto di laurea e la laurea consente di intraprendere con successo gli studi successivi o permette la formazione continua autonoma nei vari settori di attività professionale.Requisiti di ammissione
Per accedere al corso di studio, occorre essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria superiore o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero e riconosciuto idoneo secondo la normativa vigente.
Allo scopo di accertare il livello di preparazione di base è svolto un test di accesso essenzialmente su domande di matematica, in comune con gli altri corsi di studio "scientifici" di Ateneo.
Il test non ha alcun carattere selettivo e viene consigliato agli studenti che presentano la non-sufficienza al test di Matematica di seguire i corsi di supporto in Matematica (e in subordine Chimica) che il dipartimento mette a disposizione ogni anno e che si tengono durante lo svolgimento delle lezioni previste al I semestre.
Gli studenti che superano il corso di supporto Matematica sono poi facilitati nel superamento del corso di Matematica obbligatorio.
Prova finale
La prova finale per il conseguimento del titolo prevede la discussione di un elaborato scritto sul tirocinio svolto o su uno studio teorico, e/o sperimentale, e/o progettuale su uno specifico problema applicativo con dimostrazione di una sufficiente analisi critica e corretta impostazione metodologica.
Alla prova finale sono riservati 5 CFU.
La votazione della prova finale è espressa in centodecimi con eventuale lode.
Alla formazione del voto finale concorrono la carriera studiorum dello studente, la valutazione della qualità dell'elaborato finale e della presentazione dinanzi alla Commissione di laurea.
Il Regolamento della Prova Finale è disponibile al link http://www.dafne.unitus.it/web/interna.asp?idPag=4260Orientamento in ingresso
DAFNE: Attività di orientamento svolte nell'Anno Accademico 2015-2016 sino al mese di Maggio 2017
Nel corso dell'Anno Accademico 2016-2017 le attività di orientamento del Dipartimento DAFNE sono state coordinate ed armonizzate con le attività di orientamento dell'Ateneo in quanto, come stabilito dal Rettore, l'Ufficio di orientamento di Ateneo ha provveduto direttamente a contattare ed a presentare l'offerta formativa complessiva di Ateneo ai vari Istituti.
Sono stati comunque mantenuti e ove possibilmente consolidati, i contatti con gli Istituti con i quali, negli scorsi anni, sono state coordinate specifiche attività di orientamento, sopratutto con quelli per i quali i nostri corsi di studio rappresentano, storicamente, il normale completamento del loro percorso formativo e che costituiscono attualmente il principale bacino di utenza dei Corsi di Laurea del DAFNE.
Per quanto riguarda invece il nuovo corso di studi in Scienze della Montagna con sede a Cittaducale, le attività di orientamento sono state coordinate con il Consorzio della Sabina Universitas.
Per gli AA precedenti si rimanda alle Schede SUA precedenti.
Il responsabile dell'orientamento del DAFNE è il Prof.

SCIENZE AGRARIE E AMBIENTALI
(Classe L-25; D.M.17/2010)
Il Corso di Laurea triennale in Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali L25 (SAA L25) permette di acquisire conoscenze e competenze nella gestione delle produzioni vegetali e animali.
Questo avviene sia con l'approfondimento dei temi cruciali della coltivazione agraria e dell'allevamento del bestiame, sia con uno studio sistemico delle relazioni tra esigenze biologiche, disponibilità di mezzi tecnici e risorse territoriali, sostenibilità economica ed ambientale.
Il laureato possiede conoscenze e competenze nella gestione tecnico-economica delle imprese e dei territori agricoli e rurali, con particolare riferimento agli aspetti della salvaguardia dell'ambiente e del territorio, alla valutazione dei rischi e alla stima dei beni.
In particolare, la conoscenza delle coltivazioni agrarie, dei principali allevamenti zootecnici e delle prime trasformazioni dei prodotti di queste attività permette al laureato in SAA L25 di operare professionalmente nella attività di gestione, divulgazione e assistenza tecnica qualificata nel settore agro-industriale, agrituristico e agro-ambientale.
Il corso di laurea è strutturato in due curriculum Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali e Biotecnologie Agrarie, con cinque insegnamenti specifici.
Il curriculum Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali prevede quattro diversi profili apicali: "Agrario e Ambientale", "Zootecnico", "Territorio, Ambiente e Paesaggio" e "Certificazione della qualità dei prodotti e dei processi agricoli".
I primi tre profili sono costituiti da tre insegnamenti da 6 CFU di approfondimento specifico.
Il quarto profilo è costituito da un insegnamento da 6 CFU ed uno da 12 CFU.
Per specializzare ulteriormente la preparazione in Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali si può accedere alla Laurea Magistrale SAA/LM69.
Il curriculum di Biotecnologie Agrarie fornisce la conoscenza dei principi di base delle biotecnologie agrarie, vegetali ed animali, consentendo al laureato di affrontare criticamente le principali problematiche relative alle applicazioni biotecnologiche in campo agrario.
Il curriculum risulta anche propedeutico e promozionale alla scelta della Laurea Magistrale specifica in classe LM7.
Al termine degli studi il laureato di SAA L25 conosce tutti gli aspetti utili ad esercitare con successo la professione di Agronomo Junior.
Il Corso di Laurea è ad accesso non programmato.
Allo scopo di accertare il livello di preparazione di base è svolto un test di ingresso, che per Scienze Agrarie e Ambientali prevede quesiti di Matematica e di Chimica.
Il test non ha carattere selettivo e consente comunque l'iscrizione al Corso di Laurea.
Tuttavia, se i suoi risultati evideziano delle lacune, lo studente è tenuto a superarle entro il primo anno del Corso di Laurea.
A tale scopo, il Dipartimento DAFNE supporta la preparazione degli studenti rendendo disponibili dei corsi di supporto di Matematica e Chimica.
Al termine dei corsi di supporto il DAFNE effettua varie sessioni di test di recupero per verificare e attestare che le eventuali lacune di preparazione sono state colmate.
All'atto dell'immatricolazione o dell'iscrizione agli anni successivi gli studenti possono optare tra impegno a tempo pieno o a tempo parziale secondo quanto disposto dall'art.
22 del Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo e dal Regolamento studenti a tempo parziale.
La prova finale consiste nella preparazione e discussione di un elaborato scritto su una o più tematiche affrontate nel percorso didattico e con un impegno complessivo di 5 CFU.
L'Offerta formativa 2017-2018 del Dipartimento, in particolare quella del CdS SAA/L25, è disponibile sul portale del Dipartimento all'indirizzo http://www.dafne.unitus.it/web/index.asp.
con un ulteriore link per l'ordinamento.
Le stesse informazioni sono reperibili sulla Guida dello studente 2017-2018 che sarà stampata entro luglio 2017.
Lo studente espliciterà le proprie scelte al momento della presentazione,
tramite il sistema informativo di ateneo, del piano di completamento o del piano di studio individuale,
secondo quanto stabilito dal regolamento didattico del corso di studio.

(objectives)
The course aims to deal with the main plant pathogens (mainly fungi, but with examples concerning also bacteria, viruses and insects) of particular importance and of recent introduction and diffusion in Italy and in the European Countries; moreover, it also deals with the main pathogenic species whose introduction is at risk. Consequently, the main purposes of the course are the understanding of the biology and the epidemiology of these disease agents, and the containment strategies to be adopted (preferably with low environmental impact) , also in comparison with common disease agents for agricultural crops and forest environments. Then, the course aims to bring a knowledge of the main factors that have led to the entry into the EU territories of these dangerous agents (climate change, pathogen pollution and agricultural changes). Finally, the students are driven to the learning of how to recognize an invasive pathogen, how the Countries are organized to minimize these unwanted invasions (including Legislative rules), and what are the possible measures and strategies to contain these organisms after their invasion.
