Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The Teaching and Learning (CEA) assessment includes the following assessment components:
(1) Clinical competence assessment (CC)
(2) 2 consultations in real clinical context (conc)
(3) Development of a portfolio (Port).
and is defined according to the following weighting: CEA = 30% (CC) + 60% (conc) + 10% (Port)
(1) Clinical competence assessment (CC).
Clinical competencies are assessed by the tutor during the semester, depending on the practical and theoretical-practical performance of the student, where the following areas should be covered:
- Refraction
- Binocular vision and accommodation
- Contactology and ocular surface
- Supplementary examinations and ocular health
