Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
D1- KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING At the end of the course, to pass the exam the student has to demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge related to the causes of human diseases: cell/tissue damage and death; fundamental pathological mechanisms associated to immunity, inflammation and cancerogenesis; genetic pathology inheritance.
D2-APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The students has to demonstrate the ability to recognize the most common underlying mechanisms of disease.
D3-MAKING JUDGEMENTS The student has to acquire knowledge to enable him to recognize the mechanisms responsible for the development of a disease and to identify specific pathological conditions with the possibility of application in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

- Assessment
Oral examination preceded by a written test. The written test will consist of a multiple choice test since it intends to assess the basic knowledge about the main mechanisms responsible for the development of diseases. The oral exam will be a deepening of the basic knowledge.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
