Syllabus

Course Objectives


During the Course, students will learn to correctly perform a bibliographic search on PubMed Medline, and they will know text genres. They will train their reading skills, a language ability that will be useful for them to study and update on international scientific literature.

Course Prerequisites


Good knowledge of basic standard English.

Teaching Methods

In-class lessons.

Assessment Methods


The final exam consists in 30 multiple choice questions concerning the issues discussed during in-class lessons. Students must answer correctly to 18 questions.


Texts


Class attendance is enough for students to learn all the subjects and issues presented during the lessons, which are necessary to pass final examination. The professor will provide students with all the material and slides used during the lessons. As further support for studying, students can use any grammar books, as long as they have an ISBN, and the Merriam-Webster English Dictionary. Students can also access the Internet websites accepted by the international scientific community like PubMed Medline and its section - Medline Plus.

Contents


The Course includes review and study of the linguistic issues related to scientific research. The different types of scientific journals and scientific articles are dealt with (reviews, full papers, case reports, etc.) analyzing their particular structures. Subsequently, reading and in-depth analysis of the various medical articles are undertaken, in order for students to have a relative autonomy in reading, understanding and translating the articles themselves.

Course Language


Italian and English
