Teaching methods
The course will be held with online live-lessons on the Teams platform. Therefore the students will be able to interact with the Teacher.
Lessons will be held with slides that will be available on the Elly online-platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it/).
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of the acquired knowledges will be held through an oral final exam including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The exam will include questions about different topics of the program. The program includes other than the topics discussed during the lessons, topics that will be studied on the text book individually
