Syllabus

Course Objectives


Acquisition of knowledge concerning the structural and physiological characteristics of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses and fungi), concepts of microbial pathogenicity and epidemiology, host-microorganism interactions, disease control by infection, and the role of different microorganisms of health interest. Study of the structure and characteristics of viruses. Understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms of viral infection. Disease control by viruses and the role of these infectious agents in the most common human infections.

Course Prerequisites


Those listed in the didactic regulation.

Teaching Methods


The theoretical knowledge will be acquired through the attendance to the lessons, closely integrated with the study of the texts adopted and the material provided by the teacher.

Assessment Methods


Oral exam.

The Integrated Course examination consists of a single exam, including all disciplines, always to be taken in the same examination session.An oral exam is used to verify the student's preparation in each of the integrated course modules. The Commission will evaluate the student's ability to apply knowledge and whether the skills are adequate to support and solve problems of a microbiological nature. The following will also be evaluated: judgment-making, communication, and learning skills, as indicated in the Dublin descriptors.The exam will be graded on thirtieths based on the following criteria:


Not suitable: significant deficiencies and/or inaccuracies in knowledge and understanding of the topics; limited analysis and synthesis skills; frequent generalizations.

18-20: Knowledge and understanding of the topics are sufficient with possible imperfections; analysis and synthesis skills and independent judgment are sufficient.

21-23: Knowledge and understanding of the topics routine; Correct analysis and synthesis skills with coherent logical argumentation.

24-26: Fair knowledge and understanding of the topics; good analysis and synthesis skills with arguments expressed rigorously.

27-29: Complete knowledge and understanding of the topics; notable analysis and synthesis skills. Good independent judgment.

30-30L: Excellent level of knowledge and understanding of the topics. Notable analysis and synthesis skills and independent judgment. Arguments expressed originally. Honors (30L) can be awarded if proposed unanimously by the Commission.
