Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies integrating: tutorials, problem-solving for exemplification, practical seminar, clinical case analysis, scientific paper analysis, selfstudy. Student evaluation resorting to written tests, practical test, essay, clinical case analysis. The final mark is established according to the following expression: CEA = 40% A + 35% B + 15% C + 10% D, where A corresponds to the classification obtained in the Contact Lens fitting module, B in the WaveFront and Ocular Aberrations module, C in the module of Endothelial Microscopy Topography and Corneal Pachymetry and D in the module of advising and patient assessment for refractive surgery.
