Teaching methods

During the classroom lectures the topics of the module program will be illustrated and commented. Theory will be accompanied by examples and simulations that will illustrate its practical use on Web. Several technical terms will be used both in Italian and in English, so that the student can use on his own the catalogues and databases shown during the lessons. Compatibly with the number of students, it is possible that brief exercitations will be organized, so the students can practically apply the concepts shown during the frontal lessons.
The course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it).

Assessment methods and criteria

The verification of the achievement of module objectives is a written test (in presence or remotely based on the actual COVID situation), mainly consisting of questions about the arguments treated during the lessons. The exam will contain: multiple response quiz. The grade will be in 30/30 and its weight will be based on the credits of this module respect to those of the integrate course. In the case of practical exercitations, the student will do on-line brief learning tests.
