Teaching methods
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://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it/).
Assessment methods and criteria
L’accertamento del raggiungimento degli obiettivi previsti dal corso prevede un esame orale. Mediante domande riguardanti i contenuti del corso verrà accertato se lo studente ha raggiunto l’obbiettivo della conoscenza e della comprensione dei contenuti del corso stesso.
Qualora a causa del perdurare dell'emergenza sanitaria fosse necessario adottare la modalità a distanza per gli esami di profitto, si procederà come segue:
