Edizione unica


Prerequisiti
· Lectures
· Tutorial activities at the light microscope
· Tutorial activities with human organs and models of human organs
· Small group activities with human organs and models of human organs
· Seminars
Assessment methods: multiple choice tests and oral assessment, slide diagnosis at the light microscope.
Intermediate tests: At the end of the first semester, students will be evaluated through a multiple choice test and for their ability to describe and recognize histological preparations at the light microscope (histology, with tissue diagnosis; microanatomy, with organ diagnosis). A second multiple choice test will be performed at the end of the second semester (II semester topics).
Students who have successfully passed both intermediate tests and both slide diagnoses will be admitted to the oral exam. Slide diagnoses will remain always valid; the two intermediate multiple choice tests will be valid for two oral examinations throughout the entire academic year.
Starting from the end of the course: it will be possible to take a single multiple choice test covering the whole program, as well as both slide diagnoses. In case of failure of the oral exam, the test will be kept valid through the session (summer, fall or winter session).
Before each oral exam session, it will be possible to take a single multiple choice test covering the whole program, as well as both slide diagnoses.
