The General Pathology and Immunology Science are a multidisciplinary sciences relating to human health: how and why it happens the health disturbance, it includes the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the disease, ie etiopathogenesis and all aspects of the host defenses against infection.
The course aims to train experts in the field of midwifery. The course aims to provide a specific basis for basic materials needed for the student's education. The student will learn the fundamental skills necessary for the understanding of the biological basis and principal pathophisiology concepts of the General Pathology and Immunology presented during the course.
The teaching activity is carried out through lectures with the aid of on-screen presentations. The teaching material is available in pdf version on Teams or aulaweb, to allow the student to learn and deepen the topics indicated in the course program and required for passing the final exam.
In case of changes in the health and epidemiological situation, the lessons will be held at a distance (Teams).
There are no student reception hours, but students can contact the teachers by email in order to make an appointment for further explanations.

The end-of-course exam aims to assess the achievement of the educational objectives of the course. The exams take place on the dates indicated in the calendar. Verification is oral, in person.
The teacher verifies the achievement of the educational objectives by asking diversified questions relating to the programs actually carried out during the lesson hours. When the educational objectives have not been achieved, the student is invited to better verify his knowledge and to take the exam again in its entirety.
In case of changes in the sanitary and epidemiological situation, the exams will be carried out remotely (TEAMS).
Examination Committee: Prof. Cristina Bottino
The assessment takes place only through the final exam which aims to ensure the effective acquisition by the student of the expected learning outcomes.
In order to pass the exam (vote of not less than 18/30) the student must demonstrate that:
- knows the principal topics
- is able to reason by connecting the various topics
- demonstrates ability to transverse and critically deal with the required arguments
- Adopts of appropriate terminology.
Students with SLD or other regularly certified special educational needs will be able to agree on written or oral modalities with the teacher, by contacting the teachers at least 10 days before the exam. They can also take advantage of 30% additional time.
