Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Observation, Demonstration, Projection (static, dynamic)
Learning outcomes
The first part of histology and embryology is focused on gaining both theoretical and practical knowledge of the microscopic structure of tissues, cardiovascular, and lymphoreticular systems, and basic embryology.
This proficiency will be applied in further study of the microscopic anatomy and embryology of organ systems.
Prerequisites
Students ought to have fundamental biology and chemistry attainments at the secondary education level.

Assessment methods and criteria
Mark, Didactic Test

Attending all practicals. Passing all tests successfully (minimum passing level score = 70%).
