Information

Examination topics

Exam topics include all the topics that are treated in the lectures. The lecture notes and the key papers are made available after each lecture on the Moodle page of the course.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be conducted via oral examination, which allows for a comprehensive view of your knowledge/abilities and gives a unique opportunity for interaction. A list of current topics in colloidal science with literature hints will be set at disposal of the participants and during the oral exam you will choose and briefly present the key paper(s) for a topic and answer questions on the paper(s) and on the corresponding course topic. You will then be asked at least one question about at least one topic different from the chosen one.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Previous knowledge of Statistical Mechanics at the T4-level is required. The final grade will be determined by considering both the breadth and depth of the individual learning process, in terms of acquired knowledge and abilities, including the clarity and content of the presentation. Critical thinking skills will be also considered.
