Teaching methods

Learning activities involve classroom lectures and practical activities. The latter, carried out with the students divided into groups, are designed to provide the student with a hands-on view of macroscopic organisation (through dissection) and microscopic organisation (by observation under optical microscope) of the organs of the animals.
