The teaching will take place through lectures conducted by the teacher with the use of support materials (slides) that will be made available on the course minisite. Lessons will be carried out online or in presence on the basis of the indications and guidelines of the University. Learning assessment procedures
- BIOLOGY
The oral or written exams will be conducted online or in presence according to the University's indications and guidelines. The test includes a written test consisting of 31 questions, some of which with a closed answer and some open-ended. For each correct answer 1 point. Verification with 31 positive responses on / 31 total, provides a score of 30/30 and laud. The written test lasts 45 minutes. The oral exam will consist of 3 open questions on the topics presented in class.
RADIOBIOLOGY
Oral exam: two random questions on various topics presented in the lectures (lasting 20-30 minutes) assessing clarity of presentation, reasoning ability and communication quality.
THE FINAL SCORE IS DERIVED FROM THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE TWO SEPARATE EVALUATIONS. Reference texts
