Teaching methods

Lectures, class participatory, interactive teaching with audio-visual aids, work in groups, exercises on real cases.
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 (https://elly.medicina.unipr.it).
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and will include slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures.”

Assessment methods and criteria

Both written and oral examination in order to assess the ability to understand and apply the basic concepts of management and obstetric nursing.

In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the oral exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/); Written examination, multiple choice test.
The written oral exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
structured written test conducted remotely (by Teams and Elly). The test consists of 30 multiple choice questions on the course contents (reference texts + documents uploaded to Elly during the course). There is no penalty for incorrect answers.
