Learning objectives
The educational objectives of the course are to provide the student with different diagnostic techniques in the clinical, food and veterinary fields to be applied in different diagnostic paths. The study and application of these pathways will be supported and justified by the clinical part of human infections, both inter-human and carried by food and animals. The main anthropozoonoses and the main human infections will therefore be treated with reference to the general characteristics of the microbial species involved, the virulence factors and the epidemiology. At the end of the training course, the student will be able to use diagnostic techniques appropriately and consciously.
MODULO ANTROPOZOONOSI E IGIENE DEGLI ALIMENTI DI ORIGINE ANIMALE: This course aims to give an overview about anthropozoonoses, as important diseases potentially transmissible from animals to humans, as well as their role within public and animal health. In particular, the most relevant animal infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal) and foodborne diseases are discussed. At the end of this course, the student will be able to know the major etiologic agents that cause antropoozonoses, their consequences, the biological cycle, the source of infection, the pathology, and the laboratory techniques aimed to diagnose them.
MODULO METODI E TECNICHE DI MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA: The objectives of the course are to enable the acquisition of knowledge and understanding about the principles and practice of the main methods for the laboratory diagnosis of infections due to bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses of medical interest.
MODULO METODI E TECNICHE DI MICROBIOLOGIA DEGLI ALIMENTI: Learning outcomes: To provide a detailed picture of the microorganisms associated with food, with particular attention to altering and pathogenic species. Establish food quality and safety indicators. Research techniques of microorganisms and / or their metabolites ranging from traditional to molecular methods.
MODULO MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA: The course aims is to give students the ability to use the laboratory techniques in certain diagnostic pathways supported by the clinical microbiology of the infections. The general characteristics, the virulence factors of microbial species, combined with epidemiology of infections will enable students to use diagnostic techniques in appropriate and conscious way.

Learning assessment procedures
A test may be given in the form of oral, written, open-ended or multiple-choice, practical exercise or preparation of a paper. This test shall cover all topics included/executed within the programs of the component modules of the teaching.
Evaluation criteria
The assessment elements that contribute to the awarding of the grade are:
knowledge and the ability to understand,
the ability to apply knowledge,
autonomy of judgment, that is, the ability to make critical sense and formulate judgments,
the ability to communicate.
In evaluating the individual tests and awarding the grade, the teaching teachers refer to the following scale for assessing learning.
Lower than 18 : Fragmentary and superficial knowledge of content, errors in applying concepts, poor exposition
18 - 20 : Sufficient but general content knowledge, simple exposition, uncertainties in applying theoretical concepts
21 - 23 : Appropriate but not thorough content knowledge, ability to apply theoretical concepts, ability to present content in a simple way
24 - 25 : Appropriate and extensive content knowledge, fair ability to apply knowledge, ability to present content in an articulate manner.
26 - 27 : Content knowledge accurate and complete, good ability to apply knowledge, ability to analyze, clear and correct exposition
28 - 29 : Broad, complete and thorough knowledge of content, good application of content, good ability to analyze and synthesize, confident and correct exposition,
30 or 30 cum laude : Very broad, complete and in-depth content knowledge, well-established ability to apply content, excellent ability to analyze, synthesize and make interdisciplinary connections, mastery of exposition.
