Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The pedagogic activities take place in a face-to-face tutorial system, in which the learning process is centered in the student. This approach encourages an active student participation in the learning process, allowing the development of reasoning and communication skills, and the discussion and integration of the contents underlying the learning objectives defined in each pedagogic module. Learning activities also include discussion and resolution of clinical cases, simulating real cases of the professional intervention.
Assessment – Methods and criteria:
1. Periodic evaluation (T, TP and PL)
2. Final examination
Approval requires the final classification of at least 10 values (rounded) in 20 values. It also requires compliance with the conditions for granting frequency [minimum attendance: 70% (T), 80% (TP) and 100% (PL); minimal rating in the teaching-learning period; and presence in all assessment tests].
