Verifica dell'apprendimento
Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
The test consists of an interview in which n. questions that concern at least n. different topics of the program. The test allows you to verify: i) the level of knowledge of dentistry; ii) the ability to apply this knowledge to resolve specific problems relating to Dentistry (problem solving with independent judgement); iii) clarity of presentation; iv) the ownership of medical-scientific language.
The following parameters will be taken into account for the attribution of the final grade:
Score 29-30 cum laude: the student has an in-depth knowledge of Dentistry and is able to promptly and correctly integrate and critically analyze the situations presented, independently solving even highly complex problems; He has excellent communication skills and masters medical-scientific language.
Score 26-28: the student has a good knowledge of Dentistry, is able to integrate and analyze the situations presented in a critical and linear way, is able to solve complex problems quite autonomously and explains the topics clearly using medical language scientifically appropriate;
Score 22-25: the student has a fair knowledge of Dentistry, even if limited to the main topics; manages to integrate and analyze the situations presented in a critical but not always linear way and exposes the topics quite clearly with a good command of language;
Score 18-21: the student has minimal knowledge of dentistry, has a modest ability to integrate and critically analyze the situations presented and presents the topics in a sufficiently clear way although the language skills are poorly developed;
Exam not passed: the student does not have the minimum required knowledge of the main contents of the course. The ability to use specific language is very poor or non-existent and he is not able to apply the acquired knowledge independently.
