Teaching methods
The lectures will be supported by Power Point slides in order to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental anatomical basis.
Assessment methods
The oral examination at the end of the course aims to assess the achievement of the defined objectives. The student must show that he understands the structure of the human organism in its basic features for survival of the individual. The professor reserves the right to perform an ongoing evaluation quiz which will be confirmed to the students well in advance. The final vote of the entire integrated course of Biomedical Sciences will be defined by the weighted average of the marks obtained in the individual modules (Histology, Anatomy, Physiology).
Teaching tools
Bones, plastic, Cd-Rom, Multimedia room.
