Prerequisiti
Each course module is followed by a specific exam aimed to verify that the objectives of each module have been achieved. Exams will cover all the topics presented in each specific module.
The exam of the module "Organ Physiology" consists in an oral examination. For students participating in itinere to the lab tests, their personal outcome will concur to the final evaluation.
The exam of the module "Organ Physiopathology " consists in a written part (3 open questions and short answers (15-30 lines) for each question. Time allotted: 60 minutes) and a subsequent oral part (including a brief discussion of the student's written answers and 2 questions on different topics).
The exam of the module "Histopathology" is composed of 2 parts:
1. written part: 3 questions (example > Thrombosis: give a definition, describe the gross and histological findings and list the main causes). Short answer (5-10 lines) for each question. Time allotted: 30 minutes total.
2. oral part: after passing the written part, the oral part consists in a discussion mainly based on the written part of the candidate. Slides of lectures represent the study material that is enough to pepare for the exam. They are provided to the students on the Ariel platform as pdf files.
Final mark will be the weighted average of module grades.
