The course is given for 5 hours per week (2 hours of renal physiology and 3 hours of digestive tract physiology) during the second four-month period. The slides projected during the course are available on the Webcampus platform. Clinical examples will be used regularly during the course to illustrate physiological and pathophysiological concepts and to facilitate understanding. The content of these examples may vary according to the interest of the audience or the questions raised during the discussions. In addition, course notes summarising the main points of the subject and providing additional information are available on the Webcampus platform. The material covered in the lecture notes and the material covered in the audience form part of the examination material. Self-evaluation may be offered in the auditorium (discussion in the auditorium, interactive devices, etc.). Lectures or other non-conventional material may be provided by teachers to illustrate their lectures; examination questions may be related to these.
Twenty hours of exercises are planned in the form of practical laboratory work and tutorials. Their main aim is to illustrate various characteristic and important elements of physiopathology. In this context, clinical cases in which the student is required to seek information and propose a diagnostic approach will be proposed. Some of the elements seen during the tutorial sessions form part of the subject. These points will be clarified.
The assessment will take the form of a written examination consisting of MCQs and/or open questions on topics covered in the course and in the practical and practical work.
There are no specific examinations for the practical and practical work section, but marks are awarded for work done during certain practical and practical work sessions (contributing a maximum of 10% of the overall mark for the teaching unit). In the event of unjustified absence from a practical or practical/demonstration session, a negative assessment will be given to the teacher responsible. For bachelor students, the mark for the theory exam contributes 100% of the mark for the teaching unit.
A mark of 10/20 or higher in the examination allows credits to be awarded for the course unit. The examination is divided into two parts, one part designed to assess understanding of the subject covered in digestive physiology, and the other for renal physiology. A mark of less than 10/20 in either part will result in an overall mark of 9/20. However, it is possible to re-sit only the part of the examination in which the mark is below 10/20. If, in the second session, the assessment of one of the two subjects does not reach 10/20, the whole of the two subjects will have to be re-sit the following year.
The final mark is reduced by :
Procedures for awarding credits
Credits for the course are awarded when a mark of 10/20 or above is obtained (taking into account any decimals; a mark of 9.4/20 is therefore well below 10/20 and is reduced to 9/20).
A session to consult the examination papers will be offered at the end of the session, after the deliberations. This session is designed to help students understand the nature of the errors made. At the end of the session, the examination mark is never changed.
