Learning outcomes

Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease (Robbins Pathology) or equivalent Pathology textbook.

Teaching methods

Slide supported lectures with interactive discussion. Teaching materials will be made available to the students via the IOL (Insegnamenti On-Line) platform at least one day before the lecture.

Attending lectures plays an important role in the learning process. During lectures, the teacher guides the students in the critical reading of the teaching materials and provides opportunities for online formative assessment.

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.

Teaching tools

The teaching material discussed during the lectures will be made available through the IOL (Insegnamenti On-Line) platform. Access is reserved to Bologna University students.
