Learning assessment methods
Haematology
In the event that more than 15 students register for the exam, the exam will take place through multiple choice quizzes in English. If 15 students or fewer than 15 are enrolled, the exam may be oral (in English) at the teacher's discretion. To facilitate the organization it is recommended that students register for the exam within 10 days before the scheduled date.
Dermatology
- Written test with multiple-choice questions
- Oral examination. Students will be asked to describe a clinical picture and discuss their approaches to diagnosis and treatment (in case of online exams)
Infectious diseases
Learning will be assessed through an oral examination that will explore both the students' skills in decribing infectious diseases and in applying the acquired knowledge in the management of virtual clinical cases.
