Didactic methods

Teaching Teaching will be delivered through frontal lessons. In addition to ex cathedra lessons.

Evaluation criteria

Evaluation criteria The student will be asked to illustrate the main concepts inherent to the topics detailed in the program also with the aid of graphs and equations in order to highlight the quantitative aspects of physiology. Expository skills and clarity of presentation will be assessed, as well as the ability to quantitatively illustrate the mechanisms that regulate the physiological homeostasis of organs and systems. In particular, the student's ability to reason in an integrative way and, therefore, to illustrate integrated physiological adaptations in response to perturbations will be appreciated. Composition of the Final Mark The examiner will propose a mark out of thirty which will give rise to a weighted average according to the CFU of the modules with the mark out of thirty proposed by the teacher of the other module.
