Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Oral examination
The verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, if the conditions are right request.
Information for students with disabilities and/or DSA
To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, interested students can request a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on the educational objectives and specific needs. It is also possible to contact the CInAP contact person (Centre for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or DSA) of the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine.
