------------------------
Course objectives: The course explores the meanings of pedagogical issues and educational, related to persons with special needs, to identify the most appropriate modalities of professional approach in action. It also intends to focus on the practitioner's ability to deal with new conceptual models and processes to achieve cultural integration and inclusion. After completing the course, the student will be able to: - know the educaton elements of Special Needs; - Explore dimensions and innovative visions to foster integration and inclusion, in the different professional context and particularly about health of special neds; - Explore strategies and methods of education about with Special Needs patients in Special Care Dentistry
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA
------------------------
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

The course will present the basic concepts of computer science, such as the notion of algorithm, code, information encoding together with an introduction to programming languages, computer architecture and computer networks.
------------------------
MM: STORIA DELLA MEDICINA
------------------------
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

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.
