Teaching methods

Lectures with the aid of PowerPoint presentations. The Radiographic Body Anatomy course includes 24 hours of lectures.

Assessment methods

The assessment is carried out through an oral test during which the student explains to each teacher the topics relating to the different teachings of the Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy module. Each teacher expresses his own evaluation based on the abilities demonstrated by the student in the presentation in terms of knowledge and skills achieved, synthesis ability, critical skills. The final vote of the I.C. it is defined by considering the grades reported for each topic covered (based on the CFU of each course), as well as the grade reported in the Radiation Protection module. The vote is expressed in thirtieths.

Teaching tools

PC, text, power-point presentations.
