Module:
Ex Cathedra lessons with slide shows


Module:
Lectures will be supplemented with practical tutorials and electives. Lectures will be supported by slides. The topics will be treated according to the professional needs of the students.



Module:
The teacher delivers lectures with traditional methods with audiovisual aids and scheduling of lessons as reported on GOMP Aure/Orari system, published on the website of the CdS, and on the course eLearning page:

Module:
About 12 lectures of 2 hours each.


Module:
Compulsory attendance (minimum attendance required to be admitted to the exam: 67%).


Module:
Frequency on at least 67% of the lectures is required to be admitted to the exam

Module:
Oral examination with commission of Integrated Courses gathered together


Module:
The evaluation of the course includes an oral exam.
The following elements will be taken into consideration: the ability to reason and self-study and specific preparation (70%); attendance and active involvement (30%). The intermediate test will be scheduled soon after one-half of the course.
The final evaluation will be elaborated and expressed in thirtieths.



Module:
A written test in Histology (multi-choice questions) will be scheduled at the end of the course. Who will get a minimum of 18/30 grade, does not need to make the oral exam in Histology. Who will not pass or make the written test, should pass an oral exam in Histology first, to be able to conclude the entire exam.

Module:
Homeostasis, autonomic nervous system, thermoregulation
