The Student Center of the Faculty of Medicine of the UNLP will carry out this Saturday from 10 the Antibochazos Marathonwhich will consist of support classes for students disapproved in the last partial of Anatomy C. The day will begin with a “Head and Neck” class, starting at 10. At 13, it will be time to review concepts of “Upper Member” and at 16 of “Lower Member”.
“These are support classes that are going to be done to prepare for recoveries”one of the organizers of the initiative told 0221.com.ar. Along these lines, he indicated that the meeting will take place this Saturday in the building at 60 and 120.
“Given the number of disapproved students on the first Anatomy C mid-term date, at Remediar we don’t stop at complaining and criticizing, but we shoulder the problems and work to find solutions,” the students reported through social networks and invited teachers and assistants to participate in the meeting that aims to help the 800 failed students of the 1,000 who had to take the exam that sparked the controversy.
The student groups also met with the head of the chair, Angel Narduzzi, as a result of the high percentage of disapproved registered by his course. Though the teacher maintained that the exam “was not complex”the students expressed their concern about the bochazo and asked to take the subject on a weekly basis.
After a short dialogue, the head of the chair informed the young people that “they are working to find a way to study weekly from the second semester”. “In addition, he told us that a partial review instance will be provided to see our mistakes,” the young people reported.
MASSIVE BOCHAZOS AND CONTROVERSY
As reported 0221.com.arthe commotion was generated after the qualifications of an exam corresponding to the chair of Anatomy C were announced. After what happened, the head of the subject gave details about the preparation of the evaluation and remarked: “This has never happened to us before. Generally we have 60% approval, and this time we only reached 20%”.
Faced with the claim of the students, who demand a “greater face-to-face attendance in Anatomy classes”as well as in other subjects, the teacher was very clear and said:
“The presence in our subject and the Faculty itself, fulfills it according to what the program demands. That is not an excuse for the bad result in the exams”maintained as the specialist in the middle of the claim for greater presence in classes and, finally, gave his opinion and the reasons why he believes that this situation was reached: “What I see is that these first-year students come from a period of pandemic at the end of their secondary cycle, this affected them a lot. The change to the optional field was very abrupt for them, and this is one of the results”.
