Bibliography

Didactic methods

The teaching method is inspired by a form of "Tinkering" adapted to the needs of university teaching while maintaining a spirit that aims at deductive rather than inductive knowledge. Through the use of slides of histological preparations, the student is stimulated to observe and deduce the fundamental characteristics present in the tissues covered by the program, correlating the shape to the function performed by the tissue itself. The use of slides is accompanied by videos.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam is written and includes the use of multiple choice questions (5 replies to each question of which only one is correct). The questions are 20
For each correct question it is assigned a point and there are no penalties for wrong answer. Half of correct questions determines sufficiency. In case of doubt in the preparation of the candidate, the teacher can convoke the student and check his preparation orally

Evaluation criteria

For a correct evaluation, attention is paid to knowledge, the terminology used and the ability to express oneself. The questions used report precise scientific language that only if known leads the student to the correct answer. A point is assigned to each correct answer, and no penalty is attributed for each wrong answer. The score of the right questions is compared to the totality of the questions present in the task and the pass is established in half plus 1/6.
