Teaching methods
The course consists of frontal lectures (20 hours in class for Anatomy, 10 hours in class for histology, 20 hours in class for Biology, 10 hours in class for Medical genetics) during which the students can intervene with questions. All the lectures are supported by PowerPoint presentations, made available to the students on the ARIEL website. The textbook is merely recommended as a resource to help clarify concepts.
