Lectures
Attendance to learning activities is mandatory; the minimum attendance requirement to be admitted to the final exam is 66% of lessons. For Integrated Courses (IC), the 66% attendance requirement refers to the total amount of I.C. lessons.
Assessment methods
The final examination consists of an oral test in which the student will discuss mainly three different topics of the program. As part of the interview, questions will also be asked to evaluate the depth of the knowledge on the three topics and on other topics of the program, the critical thinking ability that links together different aspects of knowledge and the achievement of a comprehensive understanding of the topics addressed in class.
The exam will be considered passed if the student has demonstrated sufficient knowledge in each topic.
The student’s ability to move across the various topics of the Anatomy program will be also evaluated. The student’s achievement of a comprehensive view of the topics addressed in class, together with their critical thought, the ability to make associations, the demonstration of rich and intelligible expression and use of specialist’s language will be evaluated with scores of excellence.
