During the second module, the students will learn to write an abstract starting from prompts provided by the teacher. The students will learn how to re-use typical chunks for the creation of an oral report. The students will upload the work done during these lessons into an Electronic Portfolio available on the e-learning platform. The working method is individual.

The teacher will assess each individual student’s Portfolio and provide feedback. If the work uploaded into the Portfolios reveal improvement in students’ knowledge of an ability to draft a medical abstract in English, their performance will be considered satisfactory. The teacher may still ask the students for clarifications concerning the material collected and the work is done (discussion). Should the material in the Portfolio prove incomplete and/or imprecise (therefore insufficient), students will be required to rectify or redo one or more of their activities until demonstrating that they have acquired the knowledge and skill required by the course. Deadlines for the presentation of Portfolios are published on the e-learning platform and coincide with the normal exam sessions foreseen by the academic calendar (summer, autumn and winter).
Il docente valuterà il Portfolio di ogni singolo studente, fornendo un feedback. Se i lavori presenti nel Portfolio dimostreranno una progressiva maturazione dello studente in termini di conoscenze e competenze relative alla redazione di un abstract in lingua inglese, lo studente otterrà direttamente l’idoneità. Il docente potrà comunque chiedere allo studente chiarimenti in merito ai lavori raccolti (discussione). Nel caso in cui il materiale inserito nel Portfolio risultasse lacunoso e/o impreciso (quindi insufficiente), lo studente dovrà rettificare o rifare uno o più lavori finché non dimostrerà di aver acquisito le conoscenze e competenze richieste. La date per la presentazione del Portfolio sono pubblicate su e-learning e rispettano la scansione ordinaria delle sessioni d’esame (estiva, autunnale e invernale).
