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 |
Frequencies (AT)
There will be 2 tests. They will consist of a test with 40 multiple choice questions (MCQs). Each PEM is worth 0.5 points. The average mark of the 2 exams is worth 60% of the final mark and must be equal to or higher than 9.5 marks in order to pass the theory component. An attendance will be awarded if the average is equal to or greater than 6 points.
Continuous Assessment (CA)
This will take place throughout the semester and is worth 40% of the final grade. For the CA, the student's participation in the discussions in the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes (50% of the CA) and the presentation of a clinical case/theme (50% of the CA) will be assessed.
Theoretical Exam
For those who have only attended the course. This will consist of a test similar to the frequency test. There will be a final exam (regular and appeal period). Students admitted to the exam can only sit one of the exams (1st or 2nd). Counts as a TA.
