Teaching methods
Lectures and laboratory. The course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly.medicina.unipr.it).
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam will take place in oral form. The interview will be aimed at probing the understanding of the topics under study, as well as the development of dialectical, critical and comparative skills regarding the various sources.
