The student is required to compulsorily attend the didactic activities. Attendance is verified by the teachers by means of signature sheets/appeals on updated lists provided by the Teaching Secretariat. The certificate of attendance to the compulsory didactic activities of a Course is necessary for the student to take the relative exam.

To pass the exam you must obtain a grade of not less than 18/30 in each module. The student must demonstrate that he has acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics of physiology, a basic knowledge of the topics of the main illustrated systems and be able to offer them synthetically. To achieve a score of 30/30 cum laude, the student must demonstrate that he has acquired excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course, being able to link them in a logical and consistent way.

The teaching of Physiology consists of face-to-face lectures with students. The lessons are all interactive, so the teacher stimulates the students with questions that they can answer. The aim is to accustom the student not to study the proposed subject as something closed, aimed at passing the final exam, to be filed immediately after, but wants to highlight a multidisciplinary study, to which the student must be educated. The student will receive didactic material (exam program, suggested texts, pdf of the lessons) useful for the preparation of the exam. It is understood that any material provided is to be considered a guide to the topics of the exam, but does not replace the recommended texts.
