Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 53312 - STATISTICA MEDICA NELLE SCIENZE RADIOLOGICHE
------------------------------------------------------------
The course is intended to teach basic concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics applied to the biomedical field.
The teaching program is designed to providing the basic knowledge for interpreting the main statistical results reported in scientific evidence.

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 53313 - INFORMATICA NELLE SCIENZE RADIOLOGICHE
------------------------------------------------------------
PHYSICS
Understanding of basic scientific knowledge useful in physiopatology of living systems.
MEDICAL STATISTICS
Provide the skills necessary for the basic analysis of biological, clinical and organizational parameters. In particular, at the end of the course the student will learn the main methods to understand correctly scientific results, to interpret statistical inference, and to perform basic analyses on non-complex databases.
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Provide the basics that make up the hardware and software elements of a computer system.
Learn to use an electronic spreadsheet as a tool for data processing.
IT SYSTEMS
Provide the basics for using the Web and the main online collaboration tools. Learning the principles of web-based IT systems; know the risks of using Internet and the main security techniques; know the privacy and personal data protection regulations.

Learning assessment procedures

MEDICAL STATISTICS
Written test: 15 multiple choice questions, each with 4 answers. More than a correct answer is possible, from one to four for each question. Every question is worth 2 points; every wrong answer or a correct answer that has not been indicated, minus 1 point. Duration: 30 minutes. To pass the exam, the score has to be 18 or higher.
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Written exam consisting of 30 multiple choice questions (with 1 correct answer) divided into 2 macro-topics:
Basic computer science: 15 questions;
Spreadsheet: 15 questions.
Rating:
+1 point for correct answer
0 points for wrong or undated answer.
Duration: 30 minutes.
The exam is considered passed only if, regardless of the overall score achieved, at least 9 answers are correct for each macro-topic


THE FINAL GRADE IS A ARITHMETIC AVERAGE OF THE MARKS OBTAINED IN EACH TEST.
