Assessment

Oral examination preceded by a written test. The written test will consist of a multiple choice test since it intends to assess the basic knowledge about the main mechanisms responsible for the development of diseases. The oral exam will be a deepening of the basic knowledge.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
