Non excused absence or delay will expose the student to be non receivable at the domestic animal surgery examination. Videos presenting suturing techniques have to be seen before participating to the 2 practical sessions on suturing techniques.Those videos present the theoretical notions needed to understand those practical sessions. Those videos are accessible online following this link : http://www.cvu.ulg.ac.be/cms/c_251418/prerequis-aux-tp-sutures-de-gmv1
The evaluation of the practical sessions is a global evaluation of the participation of the student (motivation, behavior, knowledge including theoretical notions shown on videos). This evaluation will modulate the evaluation obtained at the theoretical course examination.
