Assessment methods
The assessment of learning is done through a one-hour final written examination with multiple choice questions, in which is not allowed the use of books, notes, and computer. The written test seeks to ascertain the knowledge and technical skills and basic computer skills necessary for the use of the main biomedical instrumentation and the main information technology tools. The vote of the examination of the entire integrated course is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in the three single courses.
