Type of delivery of the course
THE COURSE ENTAILS FRONTAL AND LAB LESSONS. DURING THE FRONTAL LESSONS, THEORETICAL CONCEPTS ARE EXPLAINED USING CLASS DISCUSSIONS AND POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS. IN THE LAB, STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO OBSERVE (WITH A MICROSCOPY OR STEREOMICROSCOPY) THE ORGANISMS BELONGING TO THE DIFFERENT TAXA AND PREPARE TEMPORARY DISSECTIONS AND PREPARATIONS. THE COURSE INCLUDES ALSO DIDACTIC VISITS TO PUBLIC AND/OR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS.Attendance

EACH CORRECT QUESTION IS EVALUATED 1 POINT, WHILE PARTIALLY CORRECT QUESTIONS ARE EVALUATED AS FRACTIONS OF POINTS. THE STUDENT PASSES THE WRITTEN TEST IF HIS/HER FINAL SCORE IS 18/30 OR HIGHER. THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS OF THEORETICAL QUESTIONS ON THE TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM AND THE FINAL GRADE IS CALCULATED AS THE AVERAGE BETWEEN THE SCORE OF THE WRITTEN TEST AND THE ORAL EXAM.
