Learning Outcomes

Algemene competenties

  • The student develops a basic knowledge in anatomy, in order to understand the functioning of the human body, motion of bones, muscles and joints and the peripheral neural system at the different levels of anatomy from molecular to macroscopic and fucntional.

    The student is aware of the complexity of the human body, its interaction and adaptability to environmental circumstances, and to learn to apply the basic anatomical langauage.

  • The student is able to define clinically relevant reseach topics with  anatomical relevance

  • the student is able to summerize the information about a speicif anatomical region and the present that to colleagues.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 80% of the final mark.
LEC Presentation determines 20% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Examen with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 80% of the final mark.

Within the LEC Presentation category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • presentation with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 20% of the final mark.
