Syllabus
Course Objectives
Learning the structural organization of the human body from the macroscopical to the microscopical point of view with their anatomical-clinical applications. Recognize the morphological characteristics of systems, organs, tissues, cells and subcellular structures of human organism.
Course Prerequisites
basic knowledge of biology, chemistry, histology, anatomy already acquired during high school 2nd grade.
Teaching Methods
the course will be structured with synchronous and asynchronous lessons organized on the microsoft Teams platform. In synchronous mode, the teacher carries out the lesson live using Microsoft Teams by activating the recording of the lesson.
Assessment Methods
On the day of the exam you must show your university card or a non-expired identity document with identification photo.
The oral exam consists of questions relating to the course program of the C.I. to define the ability to understand (20%), the ability to apply knowledge and understanding (20%), the autonomy of judgment (10%), the ability to learn (20%) and communication skills (30%).
Single final grade out of thirty
The commission will be composed of at least two teachers.
Each candidate will be questioned by two teachers, not necessarily by the teacher who took the course
During the course attendance and on the day of the exam, appropriate clothing is required, a form of respect for teachers and the academic institution
