Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
D1 - Knowledge and ability of comprehension. The student must demonstrate to have gained the knowledge inherent to the teaching program.
D2 - Ability to apply knowledge and comprehension. The student must be able to implement/use these knowledges for the critical evaluation of the molecular diagnostic methods.
D3 - Autonomy of judgement. The student will be able to critically evaluate the diagnostic approaches for leishmaniasis.
D4 - Communication skills. The student must acquire adequate scientific language skills by taking a participatory attitude to the topics of the lectures.
D5 - Learning skill. The student will be autonomously able to deepen the topics covered.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
Lectures
- Assessment
Assessment will be carried out through multiple choice test.
- 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.
