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 oral evaluation
For a correct evaluation, attention is paid to knowledge, the terminology used and the ability to express oneself. These three aspects are adequately assessed during the 3 questions concerning the program topics. The presentation of a histological image and the request to describe it and highlight the function of the tissue allow not only to evaluate knowledge but also the ability to observe and describe through the use of scientific terminology.
