Teaching Methodologies
The classes aim at an active methodology, favouring a direct student’s collaboration and an abundant iconography instead of exclusively theoretical-descriptive learning.
In a practical perspective, in addition to practical work, explanations and demonstrations in models will be privileged, when possible, the assistance and participation of students in autopsies performed at the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences.
– Continuous assessment (two tests with specific contents; 50% of each assessment in the final grade);
– Final exam: test with 80 multiple choice questions, with five options in each question, with only one correct option.
The minimum approval grades, defined by the school regulations obtained by the evaluation, will be valued and corrected at the maximum of one value.
Exceptionally, at the express request of the student, for reasons of force majeure duly substantiated and subject to the regent’s approval, or by his decision, oral tests will be considered.
Learning Results
The main goals of the course are the acquisition of knowledge and learning of Human Anatomy and Physiology of the head and neck, in a modern perspective, allowing its application in the future professional practice.
The skills that are intended to be developed are related to the examination, identification of anatomical structures in figures, models and even in the corpse, as well as in the understanding of the basic functions and normal functioning of the organs and systems in these body segments.
Therefore, was designed a program of the classes fulfilling the specific needs of basic knowledge in anatomy and physiology of the head and neck, which differs safely and admittedly from the classic programs of these disciplines.
The clinical contextualization of anatomical-physiological concepts will also be a constant and permanent reality throughout the various contents of the course, due to the great relevance and interest, effective and practical, for students.
