Mathematics and principles of statistics
(objectives)
The course of "Mathematics and principles of statistics" aims at providing students with the basic tools of mathematical analysis and statistics in order to be able to study, analyze and discuss real situations and phenomena through the use of mathematical models and statistical tools. With specific reference to the Dublin Descriptors, the learning objectives are set out as follows:
Knowledge understanding : at the end of the course, students will acquire specific knowledge on the methodologies of mathematical and statistical analysis to read, describe, specify and interpret a real phenomenon through technical tools of mathematical and statistical nature. With reference to the topics of mathematical analysis, students will develop methodological knowledge and will be provided with the basic tools to study linear and transcendental functions both through the study of limits and of differential calculus; they will also be able to elaborate real problems through the use of linear algebra and matrix calculus. As far as the notions of statistics are concerned, the aim of the course is to provide students with the methodological knowledge and the ability to use methods and tools for: a) the descriptive analysis of data; b) the introduction to the study of phenomena under conditions of uncertainty, through the notions of probability theory and random variables; c) the study of relationships between variables both from a descriptive point of view and an introduction to modelling through linear functions.
Applying knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students will have acquired methodological knowledge and analytical skills and will be able to autonomously interpret analyses and empirical researches on the most relevant areas of intervention, also applied, relevant and related to the degree course. Students will be able to: i) evaluate the results of empirical analyses; consider the appropriateness of the mathematical and statistical methodologies used; identify any limitations of the analyses carried out and consider the use of alternative approaches;.
Making judgements: the course is aimed at encouraging a critical approach to the use of different approaches, methods and techniques for mathematical-statistical modelling and data analysis for the interpretation of phenomena applied in the fields of interest of the degree course. Students: i) will develop critical skills on the use of various methods in relation to the analysis objectives of the phenomenon under study; ii) will be able to evaluate the contribution of a specific mathematical and data analysis methodology to the study of real phenomena, including complex ones; iii) will develop the ability to coherently integrate the contribution provided by quantitative analysis methods with the student's interdisciplinary skills.
Communication skills: students will have developed specific skills to communicate unambiguously and clearly the analysis scheme adopted for the empirical study and to model, through mathematical analysis and statistics, real phenomena. The ability to communicate effectively will also be validated through the verification of logical-argumentative and synthesis skills.
Learning skills: the teaching methodologies used during the course and the use of learning verification methods focused on the study of real functions and analysis of problems based on the study of empirical distributions will contribute to strengthen the students' ability of autonomy of judgement and the development of self-learning skills.

European food law
(objectives)
In recent years, food regulation has become the subject of widespread studies, and food law has acquired the nature and consistency of a unitary disciplinary body, organized by principles as well as by purpose, transversal with respect to the traditional distribution by regulatory sources. Food legislation, made up of innumerable minimal precepts, declined on the technical side and substantially intended for the exclusive interpretation of a strictly understood food industry and public controllers vested with sanctioning functions, has been replaced by a complex set of principles, addressed to a much larger audience than the traditional one. In this way, the food law of today manifests itself as a European law by its very nature, as an expression of the dialogue between multiple regulatory sources, and at the same time stands as a decisive constitutive element of a broader foundational event. The course aims to allow the student to acquire skills and knowledge, "tools", in this disciplinary field, so as to be able to operate both within private companies in the sector and within public institutions. In particular, the objective is that the student can acquire: - knowledge and ability to directly understand the legislation applicable to the sector, through direct reading and commenting on the applicable rules; - ability to use the knowledge thus acquired in the context of their future work experiences, also through the examination of practical cases; - ability to draw conclusions with respect to new cases that may arise in his experience, through the construction of models and case studies; - communication skills, which include the ability to transmit to the interlocutors, first in the context of the study and subsequently in the professional experiences, the knowledge thus acquired regarding the rules of production, processing and marketing of food products; - ability to learn also for the future. The regulation of food products, in fact, is subject to continuous transformations and modifications. The course aims to make the student acquire an adequate knowledge of the discipline in force today, but also the ability to know directly the changes that this discipline will have in the future.

Chemistry
(objectives)
The course introduces the concepts and the experimental approaches of organic chemistry, working on the consolidation of principles acquired in the field of physics and general and inorganic chemistry to advance the knowledge of carbon chemistry. In the first part of the course, the cultural and practical bases for understanding the structure of organic molecules will be provided, paying particular attention to the existing relationships between the chemical structure and the chemical-physical and biological properties associated with them. The different physical hybridization states of the carbon will allow the three-dimensional vision of the molecules, facilitating the understanding of their role in the cell. The second part of the course is dedicated to the application of properties in the context of chemical reactivity. The student will have the opportunity to have answers to some of the key questions in his study: why do molecules react? What are the experimental factors that control the kinetics of the reactions? When is a reaction under thermodynamic control rather than kinetic? How is it possible to synthesize complex molecules from simple reagents? What is the impact of organic chemistry on the environment and how can it be reduced? This knowledge will allow the student to undertake subsequent study courses with strong structural and molecular expertise.
B) EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS Knowledge of the principles governing the formation of the chemical bond, using traditional theories (valence bond theory) and advanced theories (theory of molecular orbital and quantum mechanics ). Knowledge of nomenclature and classification (theory of functional groups) of organic molecules, with particular attention to the association between the family of organic molecules and biological and chemical-physical properties. Knowledge of the reactivity of organic molecules and experimental parameters capable of controlling thermodynamics and kinetics of organic transformations. Knowledge of the relationship between organic molecules and the origin of life.
In addition to the knowledge gained through the study of organic chemistry, students will be able to apply the acquired concepts for the resolution of practical exercises related to the identification and classification of substances based on Their activity on the body, the effect of chirality on pharmacological activity, the possibility of separating organic isomers and the general methodologies for their analysis and their recognition.
Making judgments: The course offers links to other disciplines (Physics, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Computational Chemistry and Genetics) by providing an integrated knowledge. The student's critical judgment will be stimulated by constantly referring to the reading of recent studies published in scientific journals, questioning the current issues related to some of the core concepts of the discipline. Thanks to the multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of organic chemistry, it will be also possible to link the acquired concepts to other disciplines, allowing the student to form his own autonomy of judgment about the effectiveness of an integrated scientific approach.
Communication skills: At the end of each part of the course, the students will be invited to form working groups to develop solutions and compete with others in solving practical exercises. The educational gain is aimed at increasing the communication skills and the ability to know how to work in a group, all aimed at consolidating the acquired concepts.
Learning Skills: Students' learning abilities will be evaluated during the course of the course by exonerary tests that will allow you to individually monitor the maturation state of the knowledge, highlighting the student's ability to return.

( syllabus)
The course includes language sessions to improve the four basic skills - listening, reading, speaking and writing - and to bring students up to a B1 level. As regards listening, this means listening to original texts relating to a variety of everyday situations and featuring a number of regional accents. Reading involves the study of texts that are both generic and more specialist and related to the students' area of study, with the focus on learning the techniques needed to correctly read the texts and answer multiple choice questions. Writing exercises include a review of the basic grammar knowledge required for B1 level and writing a variety of types of texts - emails, notices, business letters, reports, reviews, opinion essays. The course focuses less on speaking skills given the number of participants, but, in any case, there is always a chance to interact with the teacher and other students in English during all lessons.

For this reason, students are warmly invited to follow the lessons, possibly integrating the notes and teaching material made available with a university-level general biology text in which to identify the parts that refer to the course program. By way of example:
