Teaching methods
The course comprises 9 credits. During the classes, slides will be projected to fully illustrate all the topics of the Contents.
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the course will be conducted remotely, as follows:
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.
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course consists in an oral examination. Through questions about the contents of the course the student preparation will be tested. Exams will specifically consist of 2 phases, as follows. Phase 1: oral examination with identification and description and anatomical description of an organ chosen by the student. Phase 2: oral examination with the evaluation of the knowledge of anatomy of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, endocrine and nervous systems. The student must be successful in both phases, as indicated. The vote, ranging from a minimum of 18/30 to a maximum of 30/30 cum laude, will be commensurate with the degree of in-depth study of the arguments presented and the quality of the scientific language used.
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/).
