Teaching methods
After thoroughly illustrating the microscopic characteristics of individual organs, the Course Instructors guide students, divided into small groups, in observing preparations under the light microscope.
Assessment methods
To access the oral examination, passing a multiple-choice quiz is necessary.
The final assessment consists of an oral examination in which the student, having plastic models available, must demonstrate acquired knowledge of systematic and topographic anatomy of different organs and neuroanatomy. Additionally, recognizing a microscopic preparation is also required.
Teaching tools
In the field of microscopic anatomy, students have access to microscopic preparations and light microscopes.
The microscopic preparations can be viewed on the Virtual Microscopy website (http://virtualmicroscopy.patologia-sperimentale.unibo.it).
