Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to deepen the pedagogical and educational meanings and issues, referable to subjects with special educational needs; to introduce to the neurobiological and neurophysiological correlates of human cognitive functions and to the neuropsychological evidence of deficit of cognitive functions following focal brain lesions. The course also offers a path of critical knowledge of the historical development of medicine and medical-biological thought from antiquity to the present, with particular reference to the understanding of the principles that underlie the scientific methodology. It provides the basic theoretical tools of quantitative medicine illustrating techniques of descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as basic concepts of computer science, such as algorithm, code and encoding, programming language, computer architecture. This course displays meanings and educational paths about special needs subjects, to improve more suitable strategies in professional actions. Moreover, students will may be called to meet new cultural and conceptual job patterns. At the end, they will be able to know how to apply or improve resources in inclusive processes; know the "core" of special education, by pratical knowledge; explore innovative visions and dimensions to improve inclusive processes, in various professional realities; master different methods and strategies about surgery with special needs people. INFORMATICS MODULE Educational objectives The course aims to introduce students to the basic concepts of computer science, such as the concepts of algorithm, code and coding, programming language, architecture of a calculator. GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY MODULE Educational objectives Neurobiological and neurophysiological correlates of human cognitive functions. Neurospychological evidence of cognitive function deficits as a result of focal cerebral lesions. MEDICAL STATISTICS MODULE The course aims to introduce the basic theoretical tools of Quantitative Medicine. The course points to prepare students to: - describe, interpret and communicate appropriately the information gathered on a collective of patients (or other experimental units); - assess the reliability of the measurements in the biomedical field, in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision; - generalize the observations collected on a limited number of subjects to the population of origin using elementary inferential techniques - read critically the articles of the biomedical area MEDICAL HISTORY MODULE To obtain a critical knowledge of the historical evolution of medical and biological sciences from the antiquity until the current time, with special attention to the principles of the scientific method. The course encompass also a section about the history of dentistry and related disciplines. The program is divided in two main sections: General section: Epochs, events and figures in the history of medicine Special section: History of dentistry

Examination Methods
------------------------
MM: DIDATTICA E PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE
------------------------
Oral interview, with: a) teacher's questions on syllabus main parts; b) students will prepare a choice subject's oral exposition on "good practices in attendance or surgery", about one or more cases or situations seen in the course.
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA
------------------------
The exam is written and consists of multiple choice tests and exercises. The answers provided in the examination will be discussed with the student.
------------------------
MM: PSICOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------
------------------------
MM: INFORMATICA
------------------------
Written exam with exercises and questions with multiple responses on the arguments of the program of the course. Typically the exam consists of 16 questions, for each question a correct response provides 2 points, while incorrect or missing answers provide 0 point. In this way the maximal score is 32/30 which corresponds to 30 e lode. The exam is the same for students that have attended classes and for those who have not attended.
------------------------
MM: STORIA DELLA MEDICINA
------------------------
The exam is aimed at verifying students' learning of the entire program of the module, both for the general part and for the special part. The test will take place after the end of the lessons, within the lapses provided by the didactic schedule for the exams, and the sessions are set in agreement and in coordination with the other teachers of the Integrated Course. The exam consists of a written answer to questions formulated as a quiz with a choice between multiple answers. Grades are given on a scale of 30/30 and the test is overcome with reaching the minimum score of 18/30. The grade of the single module is then sent to the Coordinator of the Integrated Course, which calculates the final grade as the average of the votes given by the individual exams. The test does not differ in the case of attending or non-attending students.
Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
