Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Prerequisites for admission
Knowledge on anatomy and physiology of the hearing system, anatomy of the central nervous system, child language and motor development, bilingualism
Assessment methods and Criteria
The assessment of the acquired knowledge will be
through written test with 90 multiple choice questions, 30 for the Phoniatrics module, 30 for the Otology module and 30 for the Audiology module. The expected duration is 1 minute for each question. The expected duration of the test will be 150 minutes.
The assessment criteria are the ability to list and organize the knowledge acquired as well as their application for the resolution of short questions.
The grade will be expressed in thirties and will be the result obtained by the weighted average of the three courses. No intermediate test are planned. The results the final test will be communicated to the students by email.
