Assessment methods
The assessment for the course "Hormones in Pregnancy and Lactation" is conducted through a "true or false" quiz based on the topics covered in class. This assessment is part of a comprehensive exam that also includes the other two sections forming the Integrated Course titled "Maternal-Fetal Interactions in Pregnancy and Neonatal Development: Hormones, Stress, Sleep."
A total of 18 questions will be administered—6 for each of the three sections.
Each correct answer is worth 1 point; unanswered questions receive 0 points; incorrect answers result in a deduction of 0.3 points.
Eligibility ("idoneità") is achieved with a total score of 8 points or higher.
The final evaluation (eligible/not eligible) refers to the overall performance in the entire Integrated Course
Teaching tools
Slides and scientific articles will be presented during the lessons and made available on the Virtuale platform.
