Assessment methods
Written final test: 11/13 questions (answer: true / false) and 2/3 open questions. Voting of the module will be the proportional sum of the scores obtained expressed as n/30 (in ex: 15 questions, 6 points for each question, total exact answers points: 81/90, vote 27). The Voting of the Integrated Course will be the weighted average with the Anatomy exam.
