Teaching methods
Lessons will be prevalently frontal, but they will be integrated with examples, simulations and exercises. The student will have the possibility to repeat them directly on his/her computer during the lesson or at home.
The course will be held through lectures and laboratory activities mainly composed of interactive practical exercises, in the computer lab.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2022.medicina.unipr.it).
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam can be done with computer. It will assess the independence of the student to manage the software through the creation of a project/simulation similar to those shown during the course. It will be a suitability exam without any weight on the final vote of the integrated exam. The exam will be conducted in the university computer lab.
