Teaching methods
Students are divided into small groups to observe and recognize the microscopic and macroscopic features of the organs.
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. Students who fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement will not be admitted to the final exam of the course, and will have to attend relevant classes again during the next academic year.
Professors may authorise excused absences upon receipt of proper justifying documentation, in case of illness or serious reasons. Excused absences do not count against a student’s attendance record to determine their minimum attendance requirement.
Assessment methods
Observation and recognition of a microscopic slide and oral interview that will verify the acquired knowledge
Teaching tools
Microscopic slides and dissecting room, this latter with the help of expert medical students as tutors
