Examination Methods

L’esame è orale e verte sulle quattro parti del Corso:
1) Interpretazione e descrizione di un preparato istologico in microscopia luce
2) Citologia
3) Embriologia
4) Tessuti
Su ciascuna di tali parti verrà espresso un voto che servirà per il calcolo della media aritmetica ai fini della votazione finale. Sarà necessario avere ottenuto votazione sufficiente nelle parti 1-3 per concludere l’esame con l’interrogazione sulla parte dei Tessuti.

In relazione alla sola seconda parte dell’esame (Citologia), nel corso del semestre (dopo la fine delle lezioni sulla Citologia), verrà offerta allo studente la possibilità di sostenere una prova in itinere, che consiste in un questionario a scelta multipla. La relativa votazione verrà ritenuta valida per tutte le sessioni di esame dell’anno accademico del corso. Lo studente, a sua scelta, potrà sostenere oralmente anche la parte dell’esame di Citologia, nel caso non abbia effettuato la prova in itinere o ne rifiuti il voto.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
