Teaching methods
Lectures and assistance during clinical activities.
Depending on the progress of the pandemic, it may be necessary to conduct the lectures remotely through the use of Microsoft Teams.
During the lectures, issues related to the topics on the syllabus will also be discussed through the contribution of videos, graphic diagrams and simulated clinical examinations. These especially aim to provide the opportunity for each student to be able to measure themselves in the clinical practice of competence (e.g., visus examination, Schirmer test, eyelid eversion, etc.), developing autonomous ways of performing and solving problems.
Assessment methods and criteria
Written or spoken testing. In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
