Type D educational activities are at the student's choice, Type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F training activities can be covered by the following activities.

2. CLA language certificate or equivalency.
In addition to those required by the curriculum, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 cfu are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These cfu will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 cfu in total, of type F if the teaching plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately motivated.
Those matriculated up to A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here- services - cla - language exercises - science and engineering https://www.scienzeingegneria.univr.it/?ent=iniziativa&id=4688 - Opens in a new window.

The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. Contamination lab
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential pathway with modules dedicated to innovation and business culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all courses of study to solve challenges launched by companies and institutions. The pathway allows students to receive 6 CFUs in the D or F area. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/clabverona- Opens in a new window
PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible to take any teaching activity, including electives, you must be enrolled in the year of the course in which it is offered. Therefore, it is recommended that undergraduates of the December and April sessions DO NOT take extracurricular activities of the new academic year, in which they are not enrolled, since these degree sessions are valid with reference to the previous academic year. Therefore, for activities carried out in an academic year in which they are not enrolled, no recognition of CFUs can be given.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulations) here- services - internships and apprenticeships - science and engineering It opens in a new window you can find information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.
Please also note that for internships activated from October 1, 2024, it will be possible to recognize excess hours in terms of Type D credits, limited only to internship experiences carried out at host institutions outside the University.

Learning objectives
The purpose of the course is to introduce the methodologies and technologies for the design and im-plementation of data-centric web sites, and the approaches specific to storage and query bioinfor-matics data. The course includes a lab module where students learn to working with a database management system and developing web applications exploiting databases. The students will learn how to use Python programming language, which is at the bases of the main technologies studied in the lab module.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Concepts and methods for designing and querying a database.
Program
Theory Module:
- The internal architecture of a database management system:
-- Sequential data structures and indexes (B-trees and hashing)
-- Transactions.
- Semistructured data models: XML for bioinformatics.
Laboratory Module:
- Introduction to the relational database management system (RDBMS) PostgreSQL.
- Introduction to the use of SQL in PostgreSQL.
- Query Optimization.
- Introduction to the transaction.
- Database access from applications written in Java/Python.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
In-person classes.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam is composed of two parts: theory and laboratory.
- Theory Module: Written exam composed of questions and exercises on the theory topics.
- Laboratory Module: Written exam composed of exercises on the theory topics.
Evaluation criteria
To pass the exam, the student must show that:
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to design and implement an application that interacts with a database;
- they are able to describe the concepts in a clear and exhaustive way;
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to solve application scenarios described by means of questions and exercises.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Final grade will be the mean value of theory exam and lab exam grades.
