lectures Learning assessment procedures
- HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
Written exam consisting of 60 true / false questions aimed to assess the student's preparation and reasoning skills acquired. The exam covers topics of the lectures. The test will be evaluated as well: correct answer +0.5 points; wrong answer -0.5 points; answer not given 0 points. Students will have 60 minutes to carry out the test. The test is passed with a minimum score of 18 (18/30).
SPECIAL PHYSIOLOGY
One oral section, where the ability of linking different subjects related is evaluated, rather than the ability of “repeating” specific topics tackled in the course. To pass the exam it is necessary to get at least 18 point out of 30.
The final grade is a arithmetic average of the marks obtained in each tests. Reference texts
