Assessment methods
WRITTEN EXAM
Student learning will be assessed through a written exam aimed at evaluating the achievement of the course’s educational objectives. The exam may be conducted independently or jointly with the other Professors involved in the integrated course.
The Rheumatology module will consist of 21 multiple-choice questions. The time allowed to complete the test will be 20 minutes. Each correct answer will be awarded 1.5 points, while incorrect answers or unanswered questions will receive no points. The resulting total score will be rounded up for the purpose of determining the final grade.
In order to pass the exam and receive the final grade for the integrated course, all modules must be completed within the current examination session.
Teaching tools
The lecture slides will be made available to students on the Virtuale platform. Additionally, each set of lecture slides includes references at the bottom, allowing students to further explore the topics independently.
