OBJECTIVES AND COMPETENCIES OF THE CURRICULAR UNIT
The main objectives of the Curricular Unit (CU) of General Pathology in the 1st Cycle of Optometry and Vision Sciences are:
(1) That the student can acquire fundamental knowledge about general human pathology and general systemic disease;
(2) That the student can analyze how various diseases can affect the visual system.
The skills that the student must acquire in the General Pathology UC are:
(1) Know how to describe and apply anatomical, physiological and pathological concepts;
(2) Know how to identify the most common general pathologies that influence each of the structures of the visual system;
(3) Know how to explain how each pathology can influence the visual system;
(4) Know how to relate between different general pathologies and their influence on the visual system, through the application of anatomical, physiological and pathophysiological concepts.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies: seminars; analysis of clinical cases; interactive classes; flipped classroom
Assessment criteria:
The final classification of the teaching-learning period (CEA) is based on the following formula:
Rating criteria:
The final classification of the teaching-learning period (CEA) is based on the following formula:
Final grade (CEA) = Theoretical Assessment (TA) x 0.8 + Continuous Assessment (AP=participation in classes x 0.5 + API=presentation of clinical cases x 0.5) x 0.2
In the case of student workers:
Final grade (CEA) = Theoretical Assessment (AT) x 0.8 + API x 0.2
