Assessment methods

Examination method: written tests on a computer-based platform, consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQT).

Content: the contents of the written tests will be on subjects forming part of the teaching programme and will require the scientific maturity of the student, a critical judgment on the different notions of topographic anatomy and mastery of anatomical terminology.

Examination and evaluation criteria:

- Written test MCQT: multiple choice questions, composed of 5 possible answers and only one correct answer. No negative score will be given for incorrect answers. The test will consist of 60 MCQ questions, with a single correct answer and the available time will be 1 hour and 30 minutes.

- Exam grade: corresponds to the assessment of the exam and is expressed in trentixes. The exam is passed if the score is at least 18/30.

- The grade of Human Anatomy will make weighted average with the grades obtained in the contextual tests, part of the Integrated Course.

- No material may be used during examination tests. As a guideline, books, anatomy atlases, notes, computer support sources such as tablets, smart phones or any other option of material not granted during the examination are strictly prohibited.

- The communication of the results of the written test will take place after the end of the exam, the correction phase and after the validation of the votes.

Registration for the exam appeals: registration for the exam is mandatory to take the exam and will be done by logging in with your credentials of Ateneo, on Alma Esami:(https://almaesami.unibo.it/almaesami/welcome.htm) and completing the computer-based procedure.
