Objectives

In the Course of Anatomy I is intended that students learn the anatomical terminology and the nomenclature of the regions in which the human body is subdivided (Nomina Anatomica) as well as the detailed constitution of the locomotor system. Students will have the opportunity to study the Osteology, the Arthrology, the Myology and the peripheral components of Angiology and Neurology.

Learning outcomes and competences

Developing capacities for observation and autonomous study, acquisition of bases of descriptive method and integration of the morphological knowledge with notions of functional anatomy.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The lectures will take place in the Poente amphitheater of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and will last 60 minutes. They are important for a thorough understanding of the subject, but will not be accounted for in the definition of frequency according to nº 3 of Art 10º of Despacho Nº GR.04/01/2018. The lectures will be of three types: (i) introduction to large chapters; (ii) synthesis of subjects taught systematically in practical classes, and (iii) descriptive, whenever the practical approach of the subjects does not allow their full understanding.

 

The practical classes will take place at the Anatomical Theater of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and last 120 minutes. They are mandatory in nature and are accounted for in the frequency definition according to nº 3 of Art 10º of Despacho Nº GR.04/01/2018. The initial minutes will be devoted to the DEFINITION OF OBJECTIVES to be achieved during each class and the rest to the achievement of these objectives through the study and observation of anatomical pieces, under the guidance of a teacher. It is essential that the scheduled subjects be previously studied so that the practical work may be meaningful. Teachers of practical classes will act as tutors, whose main mission is to guide students in the observation of anatomical structures, clarify doubts, question and foster individual learning and critical thinking.

Eligibility for exams

According to the nº 3 of Art 10º of Despacho Nº GR.04/01/2018.

Calculation formula of final grade

The DISTRIBUTED EVALUATION (AD) will be performed through two exams (AD1 and AD2) on the days and times scheduled for this purpose, each AD consisting of a practical test (ADP) and a theoretical test (ADT), both mandatory and providing 50% of the final AD rating. Each ADP is a “gincana” and consists of identifying a set of 15 anatomical structures that will be paired, with students taking 1 minute to identify each set of two structures. Each ADT will have 30 multiple choice questions, all with the same rating and without penalty for error. The classification of each AD will correspond to the calculation: AD_(x) = (ADP_(x) + 2xADT_(x)) / 3, with a maximum classification of 10 values.

 

The final grade of the Distributed Evaluation (NFAD) will correspond to the sum of the grades obtained in both AD: NFAD = AD₁+AD₂, with a maximum grade of 20 values.

 

The Distributed Assessment replaces the final exam and is mandatory for all first-time students enrolled in the Anatomy I UC. Students who obtain an NFAD score of 10 or above are exempt from the Final Exam. The non-approval or non-attendance to AD implies the impossibility of resorting to the Final Exam in the Normal Season, with the student being able to take the Final Exam only in the Season of Appeal.

 

Students of 2^nd (or more) enrollment who have already attended the UC may choose to take the exam through the AD, and when attending at least one of the moments of assessment of AD, abdicate the possibility of taking the Final Exam in the Normal Season. In this case, their evaluation method is the same as the students enrolled for the first time.

The FINAL EXAM will consist of a practical test and a theoretical test.

 

The practical test (P) is a “gincana” and consists of the identification of 30 anatomical structures. These will be paired, with students taking 1 minute to identify each set of two structures. Success in the practical test implies obtaining the minimum classification of 10 values, which corresponds to the correct identification of 15 structures. The classification of 20 values ​​corresponds to the correct identification of the 30 structures, and the intermediate classifications calculated proportionally to the number of structures identified.

 

The theoretical test (T) consists of 50 questions: 30 short answers divided into two subheadings and 20 of multiple choice. Each question is worth 0.4 values. Wrong or null answers are worth 0 values. Students who obtain a minimum grade of 10 points will be considered approved in the theoretical exam.

FINAL CLASSIFICATION

 

The Final Examination (CEF) grade, in any of the seasons, will be calculated by the formula

CEF = (2T + P) /3

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students of 2^nd (or more) enrollment who have already attended the UC, the working-students, the associative lider and all other special students, may choose to take the exam through the AD, and when attending at least one of the moments of assessment of AD, abdicate the possibility of taking the Final Exam in the Normal Season. In this case, their evaluation method is the same as the students enrolled for the first time.

Classification improvement

In order to improve the grade, students will have to take the practical test and the theoretical test.
