Prerequisites:
|
The class does not require any "bridging courses" and some basic knowledge on general aspects of livestock production systems will be given during the first credit of the course |
Target skills and knowledge:
|
The class is aimed to teach students information on the most important animal based Italian foods. Then information about 1 or 2 products will be used as case study to teach students how high quality products are the results of the interaction Genotype X Environment X Tradition. All the information will be used to explain the Italian food system. |
Examination methods:
|
The final evaluation will be by means of oral exam and by means of the preparation and exposition of a group work. |
Assessment criteria:
|
The evaluation of the student will be based on the comprehension of the addressed topics and on the base of the concepts and methodologies learnt during the class. The ability of the student of using such aspects in an independent way will also be taken into account. |
