Mission e Programma sintetico
MISSION

Il precorso di matematica ha l’obiettivo di consolidare alcuni argomenti di matematica a livello pre-universitario, per permettere allo studente di iniziare gli studi universitari con serenità e competenza. Negli studi universitari questi argomenti sono dati per noti e non sono ripetuti. Il precorso è erogato in modalità blended learning, ovvero in parte on-line e in parte in presenza. La parte on-line è accessibile a partire dall’estate che precede il primo anno di studi universitari. La parte in presenza tratta argomenti diversi dalla parte on-line, si articola su 12 ore di corso e si svolge interamente durante la Welcome Week del primo anno. È preferibile che gli studenti fruiscano della parte on-line prima dell’inizio della parte in presenza. La conoscenza dei contenuti della parte on-line e della parte in presenza è un elemento importante per ottenere buoni risultati nei primi esami di matematica previsti nel piano di studi.

    Mission & Content Summary
    MISSION

    The aim of the preparatory course in mathematics is to consolidate some topics in pre-undergraduate mathematics, in order to help students begin their university studies with comfort and competence. In university courses, these topics are considered as known and are not repeated. The preparatory course is a blended learning course, that is it is partly online and partly in person. The online part is accessible from the summer that precedes the first year of university studies. The classroom part deals with different topics with respect to the online part, consists of a 12 hours course and it is entirely delivered during the Welcome Week of the first year. It is preferable that students complete the online part before the beginning of the classroom part. The knowledge of the content delivered in both the online and classroom parts are integral in helping students earn high marks on the first exams in mathematics, which are part of their plan of study.
