Assessment methods

The exam of the Integrated Course is aimed at verifying the learning of the notions presented during the lessons.


The exam consists of the following tests:
1. written barrier test (resolution of pharmacological proportion) to be carried out in 10 minutes,
2. Nursing oral exam (discussion of clinical case)
3. Written exam in pediatrics with a quiz consisting of 31 multiple choice questions to be completed in 30 minutes
4. Written exam in gynecology with a quiz consisting of 31 multiple choice questions to be completed in 30 minutes
The questions will range over the entire program carried out during the last academic year and will be based on the slides provided on the virtual platform.unibo.it.
Therefore, topics covered in class but not exhaustively included in the recommended textbooks are also included.
To pass the exam it is necessary to obtain at least the sufficiency in all three tests.

The mark is determined by the average of the individual judgements. If the student does not pass all the subjects, he will be able to present himself in the next exam session, keeping the judgments on the tests passed valid.
The tests developed through quizzes are considered passed if at least 18 questions are answered correctly. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. There is no penalty for incorrect answers. Those who correctly answer more than 30 questions will be awarded the Honors.

Registration on Almaesami is mandatory in order to take the exam.
The outcome of the exam will be communicated at the end of the tests. The student must declare whether he/she accepts or rejects the proposed grade.
For students with DSA, extra time will be guaranteed for the use of specific supports as will be indicated by the appropriate competent offices.

For Erasmus students the use of the vocabulary will be allowed.
