Syllabus
Course Objectives
This module aims at illustrating the organization principles of human tissues, organs and systems. In order to give solid bases to an understanding of structure-function relationship in biological systems, during the course the techniques employed in visualization of histological and anatomical structures will also be covered.
Teaching Methods
The module will be organized by using lessons of frontal teaching and tutorings. Lessons will be cerried out via Power Point presentations that then will be loaded on KIRO platform. During the tutoring, students will learn to recognize the different structures shown in anatomical tables. The module will be delivered as frontal lectures and tutoring sessions. Lectures will be aided by Power Point presentations that will be made available on KIRO online platform. During the tutoring sessions, students will learn to recognize the different structures (tissues, organs, systems) shown in anatomical images. Depending on schedule availability, frontal lectures will be integrated with visits to the university anatomical collections. For students with specific needs, who cannot attend teaching activities in person and who have applied for Inclusive Teaching Modality, adequate teaching material will be available for fruitful independent study. If requested, self-learning can be supported by tutoring or supplementary teaching activities, and by online dedicated meetings, with time flexibility depending on needs.
Assessment Methods
During the course two partial tests will take place. Students not submitting or not passing partial tests will take a final exam during the official exam sessions (June - July, September, February). Exams will consist of written tests organized as follows: several multiple choice questions (to assess terminology and structure knowledge), open questions (to assess critical thinking) and one anatomical flashcard to be completed. If the number of students enrolled in the exam is less than 10, exams can also be done as oral, keeping a similar structure: flashcard completion, open questions assessing critical thinking skills and spot questions assessing knowledge of anatomical structures and terminology.
