501892 - OPHTALMOLOGY

The sense system disease course ends with an oral examination and has been divided into 3 different units: Unit A: Otorhinolaryngology and Audiology; Unit B: Ophthalmology (written exam); Unit C: Odontostomatology and maxillofacial surgery. The student must undertake an oral exam for each of the three units’ subject. The final grade is obtained through the arithmetic mean of the three oral tests, rounding up or down. Each unit’s exam may be taken simultaneously or at different times; anyway, all the tests must be accomplished within two close sessions. Generally, the examination timetable foresees 3 sessions: I session (made up of 3 terms: January, February and April), II session (made up of 2 terms: June and July), III session (made up of 2 terms: September and December). For the unit A, tests will take place in the teaching room of the Otorhinolaryngology Department; unit B tests will take place in the teaching room of the Ophthalmology Department, unit C tests will take place online and consists in a written text of free choice, and in a personal synthetic comment on one referred scientific paper - the subject of these two assignments needs to be the same, chosen from the program of OroMaxilloFacial Surgery and Basic Odontology which will be delivered to all students at the first lesson of unit C. Depending on the number of enrolled students, each examination term expects the assessment of about 60 students. The examination timetable is established according to some specific temporal criteria, planning terms close to each other but also avoiding any possible overlapping, in order to facilitate the achievement of all the three units in one single term. In case of failure, the student may possibly repeat the test in the next term of the same session, at complete discretion of the professor.
