SME0396 - CORE COMPETENCIES

The exam of the integrated course takes place through written tests concerning all the topics covered in the teaching modules. The integrated course exam is unique, as for all integrated courses, and includes all the disciplines that are part of it. Note that: - the final score is unique, and represents a weighted average of the assessments obtained in each module; - insufficiency in a module may compromise the outcome of the entire exam which must be repeated with a new registration. The Chemistry and Biochemistry part of the exam is performed through the elearning portal and consists of 5 open-ended questions of progressive difficulty, aimed at ascertaining the general knowledge of the contents, the basic information on the topics, and the ability to critically discuss them according to a criterion of essentiality. For this reason, students are allowed to consult during the test texts and didactic material used for the preparation. The answers are expected to be synthetic, straightforward and precise, and at the same time exhaustive. The time available for the test is 45 minutes. The evaluation of the text will only report errors, deficiencies and incompleteness. The correct formulation of the answers will be presented collectively, after each student's vision of his/her outcomes. As for the General Biology course, the questions will always be formulated with multiple choices, with 5 possible alternatives, of which only one is correct, relating to all the topics covered in the module. The learning assessment takes place through the final exam carried out online in person (unless there are compelling reasons) by accessing the Uninsubria e-learning digital platform or, if necessary, in written form, with a grade out of thirtieths. The Medical Physics test, having to verify the knowledge of broad-spectrum topics, consists of 30 true/false questions based on the correct understanding of the statement (pass with at least 18 correct answers out of 30) and an optional open question (value 3 points). For Occupational medicine and radiation protection the test will be organized in multiple choice with only one correct answer per question. In all tests the questions will be prepared in order to verify the degree of knowledge of the subject; the student's ability to make connections between study topics; the degree of personal in-depth study by the student; the property of technical-scientific language. The commission will make the average of the scores of the tests. In case of a score just below the treshold, an oral session could be done with additional questions.
