Didactic methods
The teaching is structured in frontal theoretical lessons (20 h) on epidemiological methodology in clinical and experimental settings and on inferential biostatistics. The course also includes individual and group exercises. Attendance of the course is compulsory. The teaching material is made available to students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform).
Learning assessment procedures
The objective of the test is to verify the knowledge of the topics covered and the ability to interpret results of clinical and experimental research in settings that are similar to those exemplified in class.
The final exam consists of a written test with multiple choice questions. The duration of the written test is 65 minutes.
Evaluation criteria
Knowledge of the topics covered and the ability to interpret clinical and experimental research results will be assessed. Each question is assigned a predefined score. The final evaluation is expressed in 30ths. T
