June 20, 1935, n. 1071, the following guidelines regulate the sanctions applicable to Guglielmo Marconi students should they commit a disciplinary offense. Disciplinary offense is considered any action committed by the student with malice or serious negligence, inside the buildings of Guglielmo Marconi university or in any other place in agreement with the university, that: a) Causes damage to properties owned by the USGM, or belonging to the same university under any title; b) Compromises orderly and civil cohabitation inside the abovementioned areas or disrupts the organized ongoing 32 university activities; c) Has the effect of altering, modifying, or forging documents or activities related to one’s own or another student’s university career, such as academic or exam transcripts, exams, internship reports, or any other activity related to university career. d) Prevents from or makes more difficult the inspection of disciplinary offenses committed by others. It is also considered as a disciplinary offense, even if committed outside the areas referred to in the preceding paragraph, any activity executed or with the purpose of being detrimental to the USGM image. The fact referred to in subparagraph e) of section 1, if committed outside the space therein, is always considered as a disciplinary offense. It is not considered as a disciplinary offense collective demonstrations and any other form of student protest, as long as they take place respecting the rights of those who do not adhere to and without prejudice to persons or properties, in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the Constitution. In any case, the student’s academic performance cannot be taken into account for the purposes of disciplinary evaluation. Disciplinary Sanctions The sanctions applicable to disciplinary offenses referred to in Article 2 - however, without prejudice to other possible legal consequences, including criminal penalties, are: A. Warning; B. Temporary disqualification from one or more courses or from the educational activities carried out in laboratories or other facilities of the University; C. Exclusion from one or more exams, for one or more sessions; D. Temporary suspension from the University, including precautionary measures, with consequent exclusion from exam sessions; E. Expulsion from the University and consequent annulation of the university career. The penalties referred to in the preceding paragraph can be combined with each other. The temporary suspension from the University cannot be longer than three years. In any case, the period of suspension should be taken into consideration for the forfeiture of University career. The identification of the applicable penalty, as well as its concrete determination is made based upon: the severity of the offense, the seriousness of its consequences, the personality of the accused person, any possible previous disciplinary action against him and the suitability of the sanction in order to prevent the commission of possible analogous acts. The period of precautionary suspension should be determined by the ultimate sanction. Preliminary Disciplinary Commission The Rector nominates a Preliminary Commission to prove the legitimacy of the disciplinary offence. The Preliminary Commission is composed of: • Two University professors and researchers; • An area administrative supervisor whose task is also to write a report. The Commission must proceed with the student’s deposition. The Commission Secretary informs the student of the disciplinary action, by means of a registered letter, or with a letter to be signed by the student to confirm receipt. The communication contains the following: a) Clear and precise notification of the offensive act; b) Notification that the accused student may decide to present himself before the commission at any moment. c) Notification that the accused student may be assisted by any trusted person and/or can present defensive reports and documents, including proofs. The time between the above notification and student’s deposition shall be no longer than ten days. Until the disciplinary sanction is defined, or the proceeding is filed, the accused student can present written defensive reports and documents and can access to his proceeding acts in conformity with regulations regarding the access to administrative documents. The commission can delegate one of its members for the execution of single acts. However, the majority of its members must approve the editing of the final report. If the Commission during the preliminary activity verifies facts that represent a violation, it informs the Judicial Authority or other competent authorities and the Rector. Lastly, the Commission formulates a proposal for the filing or adoption of the disciplinary action. Precautionary Measures Precautionary measures are the temporary disqualification from one or more programs of educational or internship activities, even if they are conducted in external buildings. They can also cause exclusion from one or more exams. The Rector can replace or cancel the precautionary measure with a lighter one, if requested by the accused student or by the preliminary commission. The duration of the precautionary measure cannot be longer than 6 months. The definition of the precautionary measure is registered in the student’s school career and is calculated in the ultimate sanction. In the event that the proceeding is filed, the accused student is admitted to the courses, to tests, to all exams and all other educational activities. He is also admitted to take exams in sessions reserved to particular student’s categories, as established by the filing measure. Should the Rector deem that the sanction be heavier than the one proposed by the Preliminary commission, the University Senate will consider a more appropriate sanction. 33 LIBRARY USGM LIBRARY Guglielmo Marconi University has a centralized Library system, which coordinates the acquisition and management of bibliographic and documentary patrimony essential for supporting all research and teaching activities of the University.

The university system is now organized in 3 cycles: the Laurea, or the 1st cycle degree, grants access to the Laurea specialistica/magistrale or 2nd cycle degree, which then gives access to 3rd cycle courses which award the Dottorato di ricerca, or PhD. In addition to the three sequential degrees mentioned above, the Italian university system offers other programmes and the opportunity to obtain their respective degrees. I. First cycle. Undergraduate studies consist exclusively in Corsi di Laurea- L (1st degree courses) aimed at guaranteeing undergraduate students an adequate command of general scientific methods and content as well as specific professional skills. The general access requirement is the school leaving qualification awarded on completion of 13 years of global schooling and after the relevant State examinations; also comparable foreign qualifications may be accepted. First cycle degree courses last 3 years. The Laurea (1st level Bachelor) is awarded to students who have earned 180 credits; the completion of a training period and the defense of a thesis is also required. The Laurea grants access to competitions for civil service, to regulated and nonregulated professions, and to 2nd cycle degree courses. II. Second cycle. Post Graduate studies include the following typologies: A. Corsi di Laurea Specialistica/ Corsi di Laurea Magistrale (LS/ LM); B. Corsi di Master Universitario di 1° livello (MU1) 44 A) Corsi di Laurea specialistica/ Corsi di Laurea magistrale (LS/LM) They are aimed at providing students with an advanced level of education for the exercise of a highly qualified activity in specific areas. Access is usually by a Laurea or a comparable foreign degree; admission is subject to specific course requirements determined by individual universities. Workload: 120 credits Length: 2 years. The final degree, Laurea Specialistica/ Magistrale-LS/LM (2nd level Bachelor), is awarded to those graduates who, once satisfied all curricular requirements, have also defended an original dissertation in the final degree examination. The change of the name from Laurea specialistica into Laurea magistrale was decided in 2004. A limited number of 2nd cycle programmes (dentistry, human medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, architecture, law), are defined Corsi di Laurea specialistica/ magistrale a ciclo unico (one long cycle degree program); access is usually by a Laurea or a comparable foreign degree; admission is subject to selective entrance exams (namely those leading to professions regulated by EU sectoral directives: dentistry, human medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, architecture). Each degree course is organized in just one-block of 5 years and 300 credits (only human medicine requires 6 years and 360 credits). All Lauree specialistiche/magistrali grant access to competitions for the civil service, to regulated and non-regulated professions, research doctorate programs and all the other degree courses of the 3rd cycle. B) Corsi di Master universitario di primo livello (MU1). They consist in advanced scientific courses or higher continuing education studies open to the holders of a Laurea or a comparable foreign degree; admission may be subject to additional conditions. Length: minimum 1 year; workload: 60 credits at least. The Master universitario di primo livello does not give access to the 3rd cycle. III. Third cycle. Postgraduate studies consist of the following typologies of degree courses: A. Corsi di Dottorato di RicercaDR (research doctorate programmes); B. Corsi di Specializzazione-CS (specialisation courses); C. Corsi di Master Universitario di 2° livello-MU2 (2nd level university master’s programs). A) Corsi di Dottorato di Ricerca (CDR) aim at training postgraduates for very advanced scientific research; they envisage the use of suitable teaching methodologies such as updated technologies, study periods abroad, stages in specialistic research centres. Access is by an Italian 2nd degree (LS/LM) or a foreign comparable degree; admission is subject to the passing of very competitive exams; legal length must be min. 3 years; the drawing up of an original dissertation is necessary for the awarding of the 3rd degree called Dottorato di Ricerca (research doctorate); the corresponding personal title is Dottore di Ricerca. B) Corsi di specializzazione (CS) are devised to provide postgraduates with knowledge and abilities as requested in the practice of highly qualifying professions; the majority concerns medical, clinical and surgical specialities, but CS have been also established for the advanced education and professional training of lawyers, magistrates, and teachers (all levels). CS may be established exclusively in application of specific Italian laws or EU directives. Admission requires a Laurea specialistica/magistrale (or a comparable foreign degree) and the passing of a competitive examination; course length is min. 2 years. The final degree, Diploma di specializzazione, gives the right to the title as Specialista. C) Corsi di Master universitario di secondo livello (MU2) consist in advanced scientific courses or higher continuing education studies, open to the holders of an LS/LM or a foreign comparable degree; admission may be subject to additional conditions. Length: minimum 1 year; workload: 60 credits at least. Classes of Degree Courses All degree programs of Laurea and Laurea Magistrale sharing general educational objectives are grouped into "classes". In developing the specific learning outcomes of single programs, Universities have to comply with some national requirements for each class concerning the types (and corresponding amount of credits) of teaching-learning activities to be included. Degree courses may be given different names by the different universities but they have the same learning outcomes and teaching/ learning activities. Degree courses of the same class have the same legal value. DEFINITION OF A UNIT OF CREDIT Degree courses are structured in credits (Crediti Formativi Universitari - CFU). • Credits represent the student's total workload (class time, individual study, exam preparation, practical work etc.) and one credit is equivalent to 25 hours. • The average full-time workload for one academic year is 60 credits which is equivalent to 1500 hours. • The amount of time reserved for individual learning or other individual educational and training activities must not be lower than 50%, except for the courses that include practical or laboratory work. • Credits are earned once the student has passed the assessment for each course or activity. • The total or partial recognition of credits obtained by students wishing to continue their studies in a different degree program or different institution is at the discretion of the educational authority, in accordance with the criteria and procedures of the university teaching regulations. • The teaching regulations of each university can provide for regular reassessment of credit allocation and indicate the minimum number of credits that must be achieved within a fixed period of time (in the case of full or parttime studies). • Universities can recognize credits for professional skills and experience, according to the regulations, as well as other skills and knowledge acquired in postsecondary level courses that have been set up and taught in collaboration with the university. The CFU fully coincide with ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System): 1 CFU=1 ECTS 45 US CREDIT CONVERSION Guglielmo Marconi University transcripts are recorded using European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) credit. In conformity with ACICS Standards, the University has adopted the additional guidelines as recommended by the US Department of Education, US Network Education Information, the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Academic Credentials and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers to convert European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) credit. The Council recommendation is: one ECTS credit is comparable to three quarter (.75) quarter credit at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution in the United States. Below is an example that shows how ECTS credits are converted to quarter units: ECTS credits Multiplied by .75 Conversion Rate Equals Quarter Units 60 Multiplied by .75 Conversion Rate .75 equals Quarter Units = 45 European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) Conversion Guidelines for Study Abroad Credit Guglielmo Marconi University, Office of the Registrar beginning with the fall 2013 term adopted the following guidelines as recommended by the US Department of Education, US Network EducationInformation, the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Academic Credentials and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers to convert European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) credit. 46 The University will use the following formula to convert European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) credit to a quarter credit: One European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) credit will be credited as three quarter (.75) quarter credit at Marconi University. 1 1The US Department of Education, US Network of Education Information, National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Academic Credentials has provided the following information on the ECTS system: • Characteristics of the European Credit Transfer Systems (ECTS) o 1 ECTS credit represents between 24 and 30 hours. o ECTS credits are awarded only upon the completion of work and the assessment of that work. o Work may be completed through a variety of methods and is not expressed solely in terms of contact hours. • Council Recommendations: o One ECTS credit is comparable to one half (.50) semester credit at a regionally accredited postsecondary institution in the United States.

Graduate Programs In order to graduate and obtain a Master’s degree, students must meet the following compulsory requirements: A. Successfully complete all compulsory modules included in their Academic Program curriculum and any elective courses necessary to complete no fewer than sixty (60) ECTS credits B. Successfully complete all selfassessments on virtual learning platform C. Be enrolled in program for at least 12 months D. Receive approval from professor for final project work E. Orally defend and pass the final thesis presentation before the judge panel Failure to comply with the requirements contained in these subsections will lead to restrictions in course enrollment. PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE In order to work in certain areas (such as working directly or indirectly for/ in the public sector, or as a legal representative) it may be required that graduates become members of the relevant professional association. For example, graduates of programs such as Law, Agricultural Sciences, Building Sciences, Engineering, Psychology and Education are required to seek additional professional licensure if they wish to pursue professions as: lawyers, agronomists in the agricultural sector, architects or conservationists in the planning sector, engineers (civil, industrial, nuclear, etc.) and educators. However, employment and the practice of the profession in the private sector generally does not require the need to be enrolled in the professional association. CLASS SYLLABUS A class syllabus is given to students at the beginning of every course. The syllabus contains a summary outline of a course, number of credits, pre- requisite courses, competencies and skill sets, methodology, course content description broken down by weekly periods, assessment system and learning resources and information. This document is mandatory for both teachers and students. COURSE CODING SYSTEM The Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research classifies disciplines (and areas of research) according to the Scientific and Disciplinary Sectors (SSD code). This is the only classification used and required in the legislation regulating the construction of educational programmes and university selection of researchers, as as such the only code recognized by the Ministry on a student’s official academic record. For the ease of internal course identification, Marconi University applies a numeric code specific to each course which is determined by the course’s title, content and instructor as well as the degree program in which the course is found. Example: General Physics 2203 Course Title Numeric Code General Physics 2203 47 GRADING SYSTEM AND EQUIVALENCIES (PER EXAM, FINAL DEGREE GRADE) Single exams The Italian Grading System ranges from 18 to 30 per exam or course. The highest mark is 30/30 cum laude (30 e lode). Exams under 18 are considered “not passed” and cannot be registered on the final transcript of records (Libretto dello Studente). The ITALIAN GRADE 30 cum laude (30 e lode) 30 29 28 27-26 25-24 23-22 21-20 19 18 Minimum passing grade Final degree grade All single course examination results are taken into account for the calculation of the final degree grade, 48 student must continue to retake the exam until achieving an 18 or higher to pass the course. A peculiar feature of the Italian academic system is that students can reject a grade they do not like. In this case, they are allowed to repeat the exam in a later session. The following breakdown may help to illustrate the Italian grading system with reference to the US system adopted by Marconi University: For certain general education courses (i.e. Basic Computer Skills, Language Skills), laboratories or practicum only a “Passing” grade is given (“idoneo”). US GRADE EQUIVALENTS GPA EQUIVALENTS (4.0 scale) A+ 4.0 A AB+ B BC+ C C- 3.9 3.6 3.3 3.0 2.9 2.6 2.3 2.0 which is assigned on a scale of 0 – 110. The final result is based on prior exam results plus the presentation of a project or dissertation in front of a Board of Examiners. The pass mark is 66 and students who obtain full marks of 110 may also be awarded ‘summa cum laude’ (110 e lode). The following scale shows Italian final degree grades and their GPA equivalents: ITALIAN GRADE GPA EQUIVALENTS (4.0 scale) 110 e lode 4.00 110 4.00 109 3.96 108 3.93 107 3.89 106 3.85 105 3.82 104 3.75 103 3.73 102 3.71 101 3.67 100 3.60 99 3.50 98 3.46 97 3.42 96 3.38 95 3.34 94 3.30 93 3.26 92 3.22 91 3.18 90 3.14 89 3.10 88 3.00 87 2.99 86 2.93 85 2.87 84 2.81 83 2.75 82 2.69 81 2.63 80 2.60 79 2.58 78 2.56 77 2.50 76 2.49 75 2.43 74 2.37 73 2.31 72 2.25 71 2.19 70 2.13 69 2.10 68 2.08 67 2.04 66 2.00 49 RECORDING OF GRADES Records of Continuous Assessment include grades for exams, tests, laboratory and internship as indicated in the course syllabus, as well Final Exams. These are electronic records are entered into the DAMA – the student data base – by the office dedicated to exam organization. Exam grades cans be visualized by students in real time on the virtual campus. Records of grades of all registered students are issued by course and include the signature of both teacher and student. In recording grades from Ongoing, Mid-term and Final Assessments, only whole numbers will be entered, scaling from a minimum of 18 to a maximum of 30 cum laude. STUDENT ASSESSMENTS The testing and assessment system is On exceptional occasions, the assessment system may be modified according to the nature of the course. Continuous assessment includes activities such as, quizzes, verifying completion of reading assignments, project work, outside assignments, presentations, laboratories, etc. that can be either individual or group assignments. The latter is merely referential and is not exclusive of other assessment methods. The calculation of the average for ongoing assessment activities is described in the course syllabus. in line with the University’s pedagogical model. Student assessment is continuous during the academic year. The assessment system is described in the syllabus for each course and includes the list of tests and other assessment items and the percentage that corresponds to the weighted average grade for the course. The assessment system usually covers: a. Ongoing tests and assessments. b. Midterm Exam. c. Final exam. Throughout the academic year there are four sessions of Single Course and Final Exams. Exam dates are published for students to see 45 days before the date of the exam. Students must make an exam reservation, either directly on the Virtual Campus or by telephone with the Secretary of his or her School. The student will receive a confirmation of the exam reservation in real time. COURSE LOAD In accordance with the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, a student’s annual course load cannot exceed 60 CFU credits. The following table illustrates the suggested annual CFU credit load per program for timely degree completion. MIUR – Ministry of Education, University, and Research – Recommended Annual Course Load Bachelor Degree 1st level First Year 60 credits Second Year 60 credits Bachelor Degree 2nd level First Year 60 credits Second Year 60 credits Bachelor Degree Single cycle First Year 60 credits Second Year 60 credits 50 Third Year 60 credits Total CFU Credits 180 credits Total CFU Credits 120 credits Third Year 60 credits Fourth Year 60 Credits Fifth Year 60 Credits Total CFU Credits 300 credits SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS - SAF Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a retention policy created and implemented by the Board of University Rectors and Deans of each Department. All students are required to meet the standards of academic performance that are outlined in the sections below and they are evaluated regularly to determine that the standards are met. These standards have multiple components: A. a minimum exam grade per course; B. 100% successful completion rate based on exams passed; C. a maximum annual course load; and D. a maximum time frame successfully complete all required course work and exams for the program. Qualitative criteria for satisfactory academic progress The Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research states that, in order to successfully complete each academic year and move on to ITALIAN GRADE 30 cum laude (30 e lode) 30 29 28 27-26 25-24 23-22 21-20 19 18 Minimum passing grade Idoneo For certain general education courses Basic Computer Skills and Language Skills, in addition to laboratories or internships, only a “Pass” grade is given (“idoneo”). All single course examination results are calculated into the final grade received upon graduation on a scale of 0 – 110. The final result is based on exam results plus the presentation of a project or dissertation in front of a Board of Examiners. The pass mark is 66 and students who obtain full marks of 110 may also be awarded ‘summa cum laude’ (110 e lode). the next, the student has to pass all exams pursuant to the current year of the student’s individual course of study with a minimum grade of 18. As such, a student must pass all firstyear exams with a minimum grade of 18 in order to move on to the second year, all second-year exams with a minimum grade of 18 to move on to the third year, etc. The grading evaluation of each exam – and thus, each course – is based on the standard 18/30 scale, where: GPA EQUIVALENTS (4.0 scale) US GRADE EQUIVALENTS A+ 4.0 A AB+ B BC+ C C- 3.9 3.6 3.3 3.0 2.9 2.6 2.3 2.0 Pass - Quantitative criteria for satisfactory academic progress The following criteria are quantitative minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress by either the University or the Ministry of Education: • In accordance with the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, a student’s annual course load cannot exceed 60 CFU credits • In accordance with the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, a student must sustain at least one exam within 7 years from the date of enrollment to maintain enrollment status in the university. If a student fails to meet the below requirements, or has continued difficulty in sustaining an exam, he or she is placed under Academic Observation by Student Services and is contacted by SAF (Scuola di Alta Formazione , whose staff will then work with the student to remedy the obstacle(s) of academic progress. In addition to ensuring a student’s continued academic development and success and monitoring the individual academic progress of a student, SAP serves to establish course functionality and to verify the increase, or decrease, of retention rates. 51 In addition to the above criteria, Student Services places the following categories of students under Academic Observation based on the following quantitative measures: a) Students enrolled for more than 6 months who never accessed the Virtual C@mpus platform. b) Students who have sustained less than 2 exams in a year. d) Students who have requested a termination of study, or want to be transferred to another University. SAF Activity Students placed under Academic Observation due to didactic difficulty are sent to SAF, or Scuola di Alta Formazione, which proceeds by resolving student difficulties in the following ways: • Organization of 4 additional exam sessions per year • Organization of virtual and faceto-face training sessions with tutors and professors on specific topics • Provision of additional learning material and support on specific arguments • Students are released from SAF upon successfully completing the exam for the course(s) in which he or she was having difficulty. PROGRAM TRANSFERS Transfer to another program within the University The student may present a transfer request to another activated program within the University during any year of their academic career. Upon evaluation and recognition of the student’s previous academic studies by the relevant School Board, the transfer request is forwarded to and authorized by the Rector. The School Boards may grant partial recognition of academic studies pursued in other degree paths at the University upon student request for enrollment in a determined degree program. Admission is granted upon evaluation and validation of credits acquired and deemed relevant to the chosen degree program, within the limits established by regulations of that program. Internal transfers are managed at the end of the student’s academic year. Upon credit recognition and acceptance by the School Board, the relevant student secretariat sends the student the transfer form, which must be completed, signed and returned with the receipt of payment of the transfer fee attached (€ 70,00 ). The transfer is then formalized and the student begins the new academic year of the chosen degree program with the first tuition payment. SUSPENSION OF STUDIES A student may request a suspension from his or her studies for a time ranging from six months to one year, by previously submitting an official Suspension Request to the Secretary of his or her School, which will be evaluated and approved by the Rector, and having paid all outstanding debts with the University. Such a request can be made only once in a student’s academic career. PERMANENT WITHDRAWAL Students may withdraw permanently from school by submitting a request for withdrawal to the Office 52 of Academic Services. A definite withdrawal is recognized on the date the submission is made. The release of any documentation is subject to payment of all outstanding debts with the school. PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE The role of Program Advisory Committees (PAC) is to provide advice to the different Colleges, Programs and Deanships of the University to assure an educational proposition that can clearly ingrain in our students the competencies, knowledge and abilities required at the time of graduation, as well as the curriculum and methodology to help in this process. At the same time, the PAC contributes 54 to the optimal cultural, academic and pedagogical development of the institution, taking into account the mission of USGM and the international and national standards for quality in education. Members of the PAC are Professor, Student, and professionals (who represent prestigious institutions or who have had an exemplary independent professional trajectory). The PAC’s main function is to provide advice on topics related to the curriculum, undergraduate internships, employability, new faculty, pedagogical and entrepreneurial aspects, and academic aspects of a program. In addition they help promote social responsibility and social projection in faculty as well as students and graduates. FACULTY A key element in providing a quality education is the role our faculty plays in students’ academic and personal development. USGM ensures that faculty members possess the appropriate competencies and academic degrees to fulfill their role as educators. Teachers must meet the minimum teaching credential requirements of having a Master’s or Doctorate Degree in the field of the course to be taught, or have acquired substantial professional experience in the specific field. Faculty must have ample dominion over their material and must apply diverse methodological and evaluative strategies that advance the formative process. This assures a stimulating learning environment that boosts students’ confidence and motivates them to live experiences inside and outside the classroom that will help them achieve competencies in their personal, professional and social life. STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM a) The instructor is entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of his or her other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution. 56 b) The instructor is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing his or her subject, but he or she should be careful not to introduce into ones teaching controversial matter, which has no relation to the subject. Limitations of academic freedom because of religious or other aims of the institution should be clearly stated in writing at the time of the appointment. c) The college or university instructor is a citizen, a member of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational institution. When he or she speaks or writes as a citizen, one should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but his or her special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a man or woman of learning and an educational officer, one should remember that the public may judge his or her profession and his or her institution by ones utterances. Hence one should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that he or she is not an institutional spokesperson.

MASTER'S IN ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM FOSSIL FUELS AND RENEWABLE AND NUCLEAR SOURCES (IT) Course Description The Master’s degree in Energy Production from Fossil Fuels And Renewable And Nuclear Sources aims to provide students an in-depth knowledge about energy sources, focusing on their production and management from a perspective of energetic integration that takes into consideration human and environmental needs. Energy production has been increasing along with human progress, making research into new technologies fundamental to the optimization of production. This includes research into nuclear processes, as well as new alternative and renewable sources (geothermic energy, biomass, hydroelectric energy, hydrogen, wind and solar energy). Energy consumption is set to increase 50% in the next years, along with the use of fossil fuels in particular, which currently accounts for 80% of energy production today. Other sources have appeared on the global energy stage, even if with some resistance due to the dangers of their production or low output with respect to the primary sources. Geographic characteristics, economic advantage, and respect for the environment must be taken into consideration throughout the process of energy production. The degree program consists of the following modules: Definition of Energy (4 CFU/ 3 Quarter Credits), Raw Energy Materials (6 CFU/ 4.5 quarter credits), Energy to Work Conversion Systems (6 CFU/ 4.5 Quarter Credits), Turbo-Machinery Engineering (6 CFU/ 4.5 Quarter Credits), Energetic Systems Based on Renewable Sources (6 CFU/ 4.5 Quarter Credits), Energy and Environment (12 CFU/ 9 Quarter Credits). A student is granted a Master’s degree after successfully defending his or her final thesis in front of a panel of judges.

Module 2 - Raw energy material – MPE_M2 CFU/ECTS 6 – US QC 4,5 The observation that the needs of the national energy system continues to be satisfied to a large extent on fossil fuels, does raise the issue of the evaluation of the energy dependence even considering the ever increasing use of natural gas. Module 3 - Energy to work conversion systems – MPE_M3 CFU/ECTS 6 – US QC 4,5 The energetic products recovered or derived from natural resources are defined as primary energetic sources, whereas those derived from transformation of primary energetic sources are defined as secondary energetic sources. The production of primary energy consists of national production of primary energetic sources and takes place when the natural resources are exploited, for example, in coal mines, oilfields and hydroelectric plants or in the production of biofuels. Whenever the consumptions exceeded the primary production, the deficit has to be balanced through the import of primary and secondary energy sources. 153 Module 4 - Turbo-machinery engineering – MPE_ M4 CFU/ECTS 6 – US QC 4,5 The Course provides the analysis of the historical data on the sectorial consumptions, for each energy source, linked to the relative economic variable of reference, that is on the historical variables of the difference energy intensities. Module 5 - Energetic systems based on renewable sources – MPE_M5 CFU/ECTS 6 – US QC 4,5 The alternative energies or alternative energy sources are meant as all those alternative energy sources which are alternative to the use of fossil fuels (not renewable energy sources). Sometimes these forms of energy are assimilated to renewable sources of energy but the two terms are not synonyms. The renewable energies are in fact a subgroup of the alternative energies that include all the typologies of energy production not using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). The course describes the most important and useful renewable energies nowadays and in the future. Module 6 - Energy and environment – MPE_M6 CFU/ECTS 12 – US QC 9 Technically the climate is defined as the average weather; or rather it is a statistical description of the time in the medium to long term and as such also includes extreme events. The weather strongly influences life on earth: the weather act on the customs and habits of millions of people worldwide. In this course, then we face problems related to climate changes and the origins of the same; pollution and all the phenomena that contribute to changing climate. 154 Learning Objectives The Master’s program, offered in Italian, provides students with advanced knowledge in order to identify and implement an adequate energy strategy which takes into account environmental impact, production costs, and the rational use of the energy and natural resources.

The first part is general and deals with the principal factors which influence the learning of a second language and the main theories concerning learning development, elaborated according to the analysis of mostly natural learning cases. The second part of the course explains the meaning of lexicon and the ways in which it is structured, difficulties in the learning process, and the developmental phases of lexical competence. The third part of the course focuses on the didactic applications of the previous discussion points, including the use of dictionaries in teaching and learning. Language Theory 12 CFU/ 9,00 US QUARTER CREDITS COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course is divided into four parts. The first proposes a historical introduction to philosophical language, with emphasis on the current development of the disciplines that deal with the language and semiological processes. The second part describes the different theoretical paradigms (structuralism and post-structuralism and other so-called continental traditions; first and second generation of cognitive science, analytical AND post-analytical philosophy. In the third part the Dante’s phylosophical and linguistic though is intrdoduced as author who establishes the relationship the connection between classic linguistic ideas and the new Renaissance’s reflections on language. In this section we examine the Dantesque treatments dedicated to the genetic origin of language (the specifically human faculties that Dante conceived in a specific framework theo-anthropological) and the origin of languages and especially the vernacular, that, in De vulgari eloquentia, Dante conceived a s a language that can achieve the importance played so far by the Latin. The fourth part returns to face the glottogenetics focusing in particular on how the question of the origin of human language and the nature of the primitive languages is presented in the masterpieces of Giambattista Vico, The New Science. This section traces the evolution of Vico’s thought from the reflection on rhetoric and controversy that Vico leads against the rationalism of Descartes. We then analyse the systematic treatment of the Universal Law in which the reflection on glottogenetics is developed from the analysis of the origin of the Roman legal system. The linguistic thought of Vico is analysed through successive revisions, the first so-called New Science of 1725, the release of 1730 until the final one of 1744. Through the New Science are presented and explained the fundamental elements: the necessary complementarity of philology and philosophy, the role of Providence in guiding the development of historical events governed by an eternal ideal order, the constant tension between the body and the mind within a span evolutionary. The Vico’s model is however more complex as it is represented by a structure associated to an evolutionary perspective in which the three forms of language coexist, as well as languages and letters “are born twins” ie, precisely the same time. Particular attention is devoted to the “poetic logic”, the section of “Poetic Wisdom” in which Vico describes the origin and evolution of language origins.
