Class schedule BIOLOGY II (CYTOLOGY, HISTOLOGY) AND LABORATORY COURSE EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Oral. ASSESSMENT METHODS The exam is oral. It is always led by the owners of the course and lasts for at least 30 minutes (typically 45 minutes). With these modes, given the long experience of examinations in the discipline, the commission is able to verify with high accuracy to achieve the educational objectives of teaching. When these are not met, the student is invited to deepen the study and to use further explanation on the part of the teacher.
