Course Objectives

GENERAL TARGET

At the end of the course students should be able:
To use epidemiological and bio-statistical tools for a better understanding of biomedical information and for improving medical decision making.

INTERMEDIATE TARGETS
At the end of the course students should be able to:

Organize collected data;
• Construct and interpret graphs;
• Describe the differences between the different measuring scales;
• To calculate the most common indices of central trend and variability of the data;
• Analyze frequency distribution curves;
• Use some inferential statistical techniques.

Autonomy of Judgement: At the end of the course students should be able to reading articles related to topics related to the CdS with significant content of biostatistics.

Communication skills: At the end of the course students should be able to use the technical language of medical statistics

Course Prerequisites

The proposed program will also allow students who have not previously matured
Disciplinary knowledge to achieve the training objectives indicated. There are therefore no prerequisites, but we recommend a knowledge of the notions of mathematics present in all high school programs.

Teaching Methods

The teaching is structured in 20 hours of frontal didactics, each lesson will be divided into two parts. A first part in which will be presented the topic of the lesson and in a second part in which will be proposed by the teacher of the exercises that allow to verify the practical application of the topics treated in a theoretical way.

Assessment Methods

The verification of the preparation of the students will be done by written examination composed of multiple answer questions and/or exercises that allow to verify the practical application of the subjects covered. The total points (30) will be divided on the basis of the questions present on the task and reported on the text in relation to each individual test question. There is no oral test.
The duration of the test is 30 minutes.
The teaching methodology and the methods of verification will be presented by the teacher at the beginning of the course.
