The evaluation of the student includes 2 written tests that will be administered during the couse in which 30 multiple choice questions are proposed for each test. The student must be able to correctly answer the questions posed, demonstrating knowledge, understanding and ability to apply the concepts and topics covered in the Internal Medicine course. The score for each ongoing test is assigned by means of a mark expressed out of thirty based on the number of correct answers (1 correct answer: 1 point, 1 wrong answer: 0 points) and the minimum score for passing it is 18/ 30. To achieve the maximum score (30/30L) the student must answer all the questions correctly. The number and type of questions are communicated to students in advance at the beginning of the lessons.
Passing the tests is a necessary prerequisite for access to the final exam of the Internal Medicine course.
