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 60% of lessons. For Integrated Courses (IC), the 60% 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.

“As concerns the teaching methods of this course unit, all students must attend Module 1, 2 [https://www.unibo.it/en/services-and-opportunities/health-and-assistance/health-and-safety/online-course-on-health-and-safety-in-study-and-internship-areas] online, while Module 3 on health and safety is to be attended in class. Information about Module 3 attendance schedule is available on the website of your degree programme”

 

Assessment methods

Student will be asked many questions to cover all the anatomy program.

Please remember also that:

The exam of the integrated course consists of 4 modules:

1 module about Biochemistry

1 module about Semeiotics

1 module about Anatomy

1 module about Physiology.

Given the integrated nature of this course, students must take all the modules in the same period (usually the tests’ dates of the four parts are all within 10 days).

If the student passes only one or two modules, all the 4 tests must be repeated.

If a student passes only three modules out of the four, the unsuccessful module can be repeated under 2 conditions:

1) each mark of the other three modules is equal or higher than 24. If a module mark is lower than 24, then the entire exam must be repeated.

2) the unsuccessful module must be repeated only in the next available exam date. If the student will not pass that module again, the entire exam must be repeated.

Please note:

In case one student wants to refuse a mark of 1 module, it is possible to refuse only one mark out of four (if each mark of the other three tests is equal or higher than 24), and in this case the ‘refused' module must be repeated on the next date.
