Teaching methods

Mixed frontal lesson, distance lesson

Reflections in the plenary both in presence and at a distance

Theoretical study of examples and clinical cases

Practical tests in presence

In consideration of the types of activities and teaching methods adopted, the attendance of this training activity requires all students to carry out modules 1 and 2 in e-learning mode and to participate in a third specific training module on safety and health. in the places of study / internship. Indications on the dates and methods of attendance of the third module will be communicated to the students by the training centers

Assessment methods

Attendance at the lessons is compulsory, failure to reach the minimum attendance frequency does not allow admission to the final exam. In case of distance lessons, attendance will be certified in consideration of constant participation in the lesson.

The final evaluation takes into account both informal aspects and the outcome of the formal test.

Informal aspects: the constant application of the student to all phases of the educational process, active participation in teaching activities (lessons, exercises, plenary discussions), the correct relationship with the teacher and with the other students in the class are elements that contribute to the outcome of the final evaluation.

The formal test will be characterized by an oral test consisting of at least 3 questions relating to the program carried out (grade out of thirty).

The correct processing and presentation of the answers to all the questions associated with a positive evaluation of the informal aspects will be evaluated with excellence.
