Objectives

Applied Biology moduleTo educate "critical method" and to the discussion through the description of experiments; acquisition of knowledge of the structures and principles for the unity of the different biological units in their energy and informational logic
Human Anatomy moduleAt the end of the course the student must have acquired a three-dimensional representation of human body, surface characteristics, and internal organization. The approach will be mainly of a systematic type, based on the study of the single apparatus and therefore of the organs and viscera that constitute the systems and apparatus. At the same time, students will be provided with the basic notions for a topographical study of Human Anatomy, taking into account the large regions of the body in order to better evaluate the relationships between organs, viscera and connective devices in each territory. Organs and viscera will be considered in their macroscopic and microscopic structural features as they appear after dissection of the body, after radiological examination and after observation of sections processed for optical microscopy. When necessary, ultrastructural aspects will also be taken into consideration. The acquisitions will be finally integrated with elements of functional anatomy and clinical anatomy to avoid a too sectorial view of the subject.Histology moduleMain objectives to be reached in the Histology module:
Knowledge the main structural and ultrastructural cells and tissues features related to their specific embryological derivation, using the specific language. Internship of APPLIED MEDICAL TECHNIQUE SCIENCESIntoduce the student to molecular biology techniques, currently used in molecular diagnostics, analysis of hygienic-nutritional adulteration, forensic medicine.

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons stimulating interactivity through classroom discussion of the topics addressed.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

the individual modules can take the exam by oral exam or multiple choice test. The multiple choice test consists of 15 questions. the vote is calculated by multiplying the number of correct answers by two. The questions are prepared by the teacher during the academic year of reference.The oral exam is placed at the end of the course, after having achieved at least 70% of the frequencies. The exam will be carried out according to a schedule established and published on the personal page of the student at the beginning of the academic year. For the off-course courses, additional ad hoc appeals are planned. The outcome of the test is evaluated as a result of learning the specific training objectives. At the end of the test a judgment is formulated that can be summarized using bands of vote in thirtieths:A) excellent knowledge and understanding of the subjects, reasoning skills and logical integration of the acquired knowledge and insertion in the context of a clinical application. Rating: 30/30.If at the same time the student demonstrates autonomy of judgment, high communication skills will be proposed with praise.B) Good knowledge and understanding of the topics with some non-serious inaccuracies and with good capability for logical integration, judgment and application to clinical practice. Rating: 27-29 / 30C) Discrete knowledge and understanding of the topics with some gaps in the ability to integrate and apply knowledge. Rating: 24-26 / 30D) Knowledge and understanding of the arguments fully sufficient, although with some gaps, which are reflect in a reduced ability of integration and application. Rating: 21-23 / 30E) Knowledge and understanding of the topics with obvious gaps. Just sufficient integrative and applicative skills of the concepts learned. Rating: 18-20 / 30F) Knowledge and understanding of the topics with serious and obvious gaps, with limited integrative and applicative skills. Rating: RejectedTo proceed to the weighted average the student must have passed all the modules in the same exam session
