Acquisition of the concepts of Applied Biology useful for understanding the cellular mechanisms as a starting point for the study of other materials such as Anatomy, Physiology et al
Course Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry as acquired from High School studies
Teaching Methods
Lectures. For some topics, in addition to powerpoint presentations, lessons will include online animations and videos
Assessment Methods
Written final test: 11/13 questions (answer: true / false) and 2/3 open questions. Voting of the module will be the proportional sum of the scores obtained expressed as n/30 (in ex: 15 questions, 6 points for each question, total exact answers points: 81/90, vote 27). The Voting of the Integrated Course will be the weighted average with the scores obtained in the other modules of the "Corso Integrato". Any use of the Kirotesting platform for exams will be communicated to students during the course.
