Teaching methods
Lectures supported by powerpoint presentations of each topic of the course will be shown.
Assessment methods
Student learning in the Integrated Course “Human Anatomy” will be assessed in two oral tests, both of them evaluated in thirtieths. Each test is passed if the mark is equal to or higher than 18/30; the final mark is the arithmetic average of the marks reported in the two tests.
Teaching tools
video, computer, power point presentations.
