A.Y. 2022/2023 
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

Per gli studenti delle scuole secondarie superiori che intendono iniziare un percorso di studio universitario e nutrono un interesse per le Scienze agrarie e forestali.
Conclusa la scuola superiore si pone la questione se scegliere o meno di frequentare l’Università e soprattutto la decisione verte su quale percorso universitario scegliere e come sceglierlo.
Oltre alle inclinazioni personali, alle motivazioni, alle aspirazioni, alla valutazione della propria perseveranza e determinazione, vanno fatte altre considerazioni, tra cui una appare oggi essenziale: quali sono le concrete prospettive occupazionali che una determinata laurea può offrire? Per poter ottenere delle risposte ai propri quesiti, e poter così pervenire ad una scelta più meditata e consapevole, è possibile contattare e incontrare i nostri docenti e confrontarsi con loro, oppure consultare il personale a disposizione
Ciò può accadere con diverse modalità:
1.
Prenotando un incontro individuale
2.
Intervenendo ad incontri di gruppo e a giornate aperte
3.
Partecipando all’OPEN DAY organizzato dal DAFNE (l’Università apre le porte agli studenti ed alle loro famiglie)
4.
Contattando i referenti dell’orientamento tramite e mail
5.
Prendendo contatti con gli studenti del tutorato che collaborano all’organizzazione delle diverse iniziative rivolte agli studenti medi superiori, inclusi i test di accesso.
E’ inoltre possibile, consultando il sito, informarsi sui corsi di laurea, sul personale docente, sui test d’ingresso, sulla sede dipartimentale dove ha luogo la vita universitaria, sui laboratori, la biblioteca, le aule, le molteplici iniziative.
Le attività di Orientamento del DAFNE sono rivolte anche a tutti i laureati e laureandi di primo livello che ritengono di continuare gli studi e conseguire la Laurea Magistrale.

Il Corso di Studio in breve
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.

Agricultural Genetics
(objectives)
The AGRICULTURAL GENETICS course aims to provide the information necessary for understanding the theoretical and experimental bases of classical and modern genetics, with particular reference to: 1) structure and function of the hereditary material (DNA, genes, chromosomes and genomes), both in model organisms and of agricultural interest; 2) flow of genetic information (from DNA to proteins) and its regulation; 3) chromosomal bases of heredity (chromosome structure; cell cycle; mitosis; meiosis); 4) inheritance of simple and complex traits (Mendelian and quantitative genetics); 5) genetic variability as the basis for species evolution and genetic improvement (mutations, recombination, hybridization).
These fundamental topics of biology (as well as genetics) will be treated in order to make it understood, among other things:
- the temporal evolution of scientific thought that led to the discoveries;
- the value of intuition and, at the same time, of experimental verification;
- the universality of many of the principles on which biological evolution is based;
- the logical connection between structure and function;
- the transferability of principles and knowledge from model organisms to organisms of agricultural interest;
- the importance of knowledge of other fundamental disciplines (e.g. mathematics, statistics, chemistry) for the correct interpretation of the results of a biological experimentation;
- the importance of using appropriate and specific language in the exposition;
- the importance of comparison and verification of knowledge (between learners and learner-teacher).

Energy and environment lab
(objectives)
The fundamental objective of the "Energy and Environment Laboratory" course is to provide the student with the knowledge and technical and practical skills for the choice, rough sizing and development of plant solutions aimed at producing energy from renewable energy sources. .
1) knowledge and understanding: the expected learning outcomes are the knowledge of the criteria and strategies aimed at choosing, analyzing and optimizing aspects related to energy and the environment, with a view to sustainable development ;
2) applied knowledge and understanding: theoretical and practical notions associated with the energy cycle, with the types of fossil fuels compared to those from renewable sources with obvious references to the dynamics of environmental pollution, biomass, biochemical processes of energy production (biochemical processes, in particular anaerobic digestion with biogas upgrading and thermochemical processes, in particular the gasification process), geothermal energy with low enthalpy plants, solar energy (both thermal and photovoltaic), bioliquids and biofuels. In addition, the practical tools typically needed in the energy characterization of biomasses at accredited laboratories will be discussed;
3) independent judgment: at the end of the course the student will have practical and theoretical notions relating to the main types of plants for the exploitation of renewable energy sources, strengthening the skills already developed in the three-year degree course and having the ability to solve related problems to issues, even new ones or which require multidisciplinary approaches, in any case deriving from the sector under study.
4) communication skills: at the end of the course the student will be able to communicate his conclusions in a clear and unambiguous way to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors operating in the renewable energy sector;
5) ability to learn: among the expected results is the student's development of a learning ability that allows him to deepen the issues addressed independently, adapting to the needs he will encounter in the workplace.
