Assessment methods
WRITTEN EXAM
Learning assessment takes place through a written exam aimed at evaluating the achievement of the course’s educational objectives. The exam is conducted jointly with the other Professors who make up the integrated course.
The exam for the Rheumatology will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions. The total time allowed for completing the test will be 60 minutes, approximately 20 minutes per discipline.
In order to pass the exam and have the grade for the integrated course officially recorded, students must complete all modules in the same exam session.
Teaching tools
The lecture slides will be made available to students on the Virtuale platform. Additionally, each set of lecture slides includes references at the bottom, allowing students to further explore the topics independently.
