Assessment methods and Criteria
PARTE A - Progetto "First Approach to the Patient (FAP)" - Professionalizing itinerary of the Course
Each student will undergo a formative assessment based on the reflective writing skills shown by his report of the professionalizing itinerary of the course, i.e., the experience originating from the first patient encounters which will take place during the three-week attendance period in the assigned clinical division. The report will be uploaded on the ARIEL teaching platform of the degree course. Student evaluation will be based on the following criteria: the ability to extend the writing spectrum from a descriptive approach to exploration and critique of assumptions, values, beliefs; description of possible disorienting dilemmas, attending to the patient's emotions and to personal emotions.
PARTE B - Progetto "Un metodo per il clinico"
Each student will undergo an oral examination consisting of a discussion of the subjects presented during the course lessons and reported in the course slides, which will be available to the student in the ARIEL teaching platform.
PARTE C - "Storia della Medicina"
Each student will upload on the ARIEL platform a text discussing a particular aspect of history of medicine chosen by the student. The text will be discussed by the student during the final oral examination concerning PARTS A, B, and C.
