Exam sessions are scheduled in the number planned by the Master Degree Course. The learning outcomes will be assessed through a 1h written exam in which open questions on topics selected from the syllabus will be asked to the students and discussed either in English or in Italian as preferred by the student, and a 15/20 min journal club presentation on a nutraceuticals/cosmeceuticals topic (in English).
The final evaluation will include an overall assessment regarding the basic knowledge about issues related to the course content, the ability to properly motivate statements and to sustain an adequate discussion during journal club, the communication skills.
The final mark, expressed in thirtieths, will be determined by the sum of the marks attained by the students for both journal club presentation (up to 3) and written exam (up to 28). The exam will be considered passed with a final mark equal or higher than a 18/30 threshold.
The purpose of this course is to instruct students in the principles of prevention and nutraceutics. The course focuses on concepts, methods, issues and applications related to the field. Students will gain experiences through didactic lectures, critical appraisal of the literature, group discussions and presentations.
