Total Time (Teaching Hours + Student Workload) 133 Hours

Prerequisites: Follow-up and successful examination i. General Morphology (successful laboratory exam)

Language of Instruction: Greek

Available for Erasmus: NO

Semester Lectures: Details/Lectures

Teaching Method: Face to face and specifically:

Teaching her lesson "SPECIAL MORPHOLOGY" consists of lectures, tutorials and laboratory exercises. Attendance at tutorials and laboratory exercises is mandatory.

The elections develop the material described above.

The tutorials (in 4 groups of students, 1 teacher per group) summarize and deepen the material. In each tutorial, students familiarize themselves with the basic elements per unit and prepare for the laboratory exercises.

The laboratory exercises (in 4 groups of students, 1 teacher per group of 27-30 students) constitute the practical exercise of the students, are a necessary supplement to the lectures and aim to familiarize them with the use of techniques, the operation of instruments and the conduct of tests that are often used in SPECIAL MORPHOLOGY, as well as helping to understand concepts that are not easily understood theoretically (learning based on practical experience).

Information and Communication Technologies are used to prepare lecture materials and provide online information and learning aids to students.

Specifically:

  • Common software (eg powerpoint) is used to prepare lecture material and display slides and videos.
  • Analytical material & additional bibliography, tutorial material (clinical cases for processing), theory and protocols of laboratory exercises, handover slides after each lesson as well as videos and scientific articles related to the teaching material are made online and online available to students through e-class.
  • Information about the course, the lecturers and their research interests and the PATHOLOGY ANATOMY Laboratory in general is available online on the website of the Department of Medicine.
  • Announcements, information, etc. are available online and through e-class. Communication is done via e-mail at pathology.department@uth.gr

Evaluation Method: The assessment language of the students is Greek.

Evaluation methods.

A. In the laboratory exercises: Written Exams with short answer and problem solving questions.

Students' participation in the exercises is mandatory.

At the end of the semester, students are examined in writing on the content of the Workshops. On Laboratory exams material to be examined is the theory, the methodology and the methods of processing results included in the Laboratory Exercises Guide or developed by the lecturers during the laboratories. Only those who successfully participated in the laboratory exercises have the right to participate in the Laboratory exams. Passing the laboratory exams is a necessary condition for participation in the course exams.

B. In the tutorials:  Public Presentation, Oral Examination

In each tutorial, students delve into the theoretical background of the laboratory exercises that will follow. The material of the tutorials is examined in writing together with the laboratory exams.

 C. In theory – lecture material: Written Exams with questions multiple choice and True/False questions, development questions, oral examination of students with special needs.

The course exams are written, lasting 2 hours, and consist of multiple choice or True/False questions and critical or short answer questions. Examinable material is the material of lectures and tutorials as described above. Only those students who have passed the Laboratory exams have the right to participate in the course exams.

Final grade

The final grade of the course is calculated by 100% from the grade of the written exams of the course.


Objective Objectives/Desired Results: The course is a study of the histological structures of the organic systems of the human body.

The course material aims to understand the correlation of the microscopic picture with the functioning of systems, the adaptation to tissue damage and the development of inflammatory diseases.

The course is the basis on which the student will rely to support the knowledge provided in the courses of longer semesters, specifically in the courses: PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY I, PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY II, PATHOLOGY II.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Understand the basic principles of Special Morphology
  • Write the terms that describe the histological structures of the organic systems of the human body and combine them with basic knowledge of other courses
  • Uses the optical microscope correctly and identifies each system and its containing tissues through special histological techniques
  • Correctly approaches the structure of normal organic systems and understands the role and function of their architectural structures
  • Collaborate with fellow students to create papers and basic research to present at student conferences

General Skills

  • Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies
  • Adaptation to new situations
  • Decision making
  • Autonomous work
  • Teamwork
  • Exercise criticism and self-criticism
  • Promotion of free, creative and inductive thinking
