Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: Alessandro PRIOLOExpected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding abilities: The student will acquire specific knowledge on animal nutrition.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding abilities: The student will be able to identify the main qualitative characteristics of animal feedstuff and animal metabolism. The student will be able to interpret the analytical data and organize them in a systematic way.
Making judgements: The diversification of teaching activities will help to enhance the autonomy of judgment and the critical sense. The set of knowledge and skills acquired through lectures and other activities (including: thematic insights, video tutorials, seminars with sector experts, classroom discussions, workshops and technical visits) will offer the student various useful forms of learning to encourage conscious learning and autonomously make the appropriate choices based on specific requests.
Communication skills: Attending lessons and reading the recommended texts will help the student in the acquisition and use of technical language; the use of study sources in English will allow you to acquire the foundations of technical language in this language too. The student will be encouraged to use technical language during classroom discussions, during other activities and during ongoing tests which will also favor the acquisition of synthesis skills.
Learning skills: The organization of teaching represents a study and work method that is based on the importance of the quality of the sources and can be replicated and pursued independently. This method can be useful for the preparation of the degree thesis, for the continuation of studies and for the continuous updating of the knowledge and skills necessary for the profession.
