AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The Neuroanatomy module aims to provide the student with the main concepts and information necessary for understanding the organization, morphology and function of the structures listed in the program/content.

Upon completion of the module, the student will be required to demonstrate knowledge and understanding.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching activity planned for the course will consist of face-to-face lectures, during which, with the use of visual aids, all the topics for which knowledge is required at the time of the final assessment will be explained and discussed with students.

Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the lecturer and the School/Departmental Disability Liaison at the beginning of the course to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns.
