Teaching methods
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. In order to promote active participation in the course, small group activities will be proposed, with simulation of clinical cases and practical maneuvers on a neonatal manikin.
Assessment methods and criteria
The student's knowledge, their understanding and the ability to apply will be assessed by providing pre and post tests, respectively at the beginning and at the end of the course.
Other information
The professor can be contacted for clarification or to make an appointment via email by writing to: susannamariaroberta.esposito@unipr.it, ilaria.ferrari@unipr.it. There will be no intermediate evaluations. The student will have to demonstrate his degree of learning on the final exam.
