Methodology

THEORY

Master classes in which theoretical contents are taught and the latest scientific evidence and expert opinion are reviewed.

 

LABORATORY PRACTICE

Low fidelity simulation environment. Groups of approximately 15 students. Each student will have to prepare some readings at home, the content of which will be essential to be able to practice the assessment and intervention techniques that will be carried out.

 

SEMINARS

It is a medium-sized learning space in which students have to work around clinical situations posed with the supervision of a teacher. The activity involves pre-reading at home, group discussion, design of interventions and group oral presentations.

Assessment

1. Exam. It represents 45% of the final grade. It is a test-type exam that includes the contents worked on in all the teaching activities of the subject.

2. Oral defense of works: It supposes 45% of the final note. The large group is divided into 4 subgroups which will be assigned a teacher. We will work on 3 cases that will have to be solved in a group oral presentation. It will be evaluated using a rubric designed for this purpose that will be available in Moodle. The ability to identify and prioritize problems, review the literature, and the proposed intervention-evaluation will be fundamentally evaluated.

3. Delivery of reports (self-assessment): It represents 10% of the final grade. Two days after the end of each situation, each student must submit, via Moodle, a self-assessment report of a maximum of 2 pages in which to reflect and evaluate their degree of achievement of the skills included in the guide. The format of the exercise is free. It must also be clear which knowledge has been acquired and which has not. The report must be realistic, must be clearly justified, and must include a numerical grade between 0 and 10. The report will be reviewed by the tutor responsible for each specialized seminar group. In the event of a major discrepancy with the teacher's opinion, the document will be returned to the student to reflect on and evaluate it. Self-assessments will not be accepted outside the established period. The non-delivery of the exercise supposes a qualification of 0. The fact to confirm-plagiarism in any of the exercises will suppose the immediate suspension of the asignatura.

 

OBTAINING THE FINAL QUALIFICATION:

The requirement for obtaining the final mark is to have presented to all the evaluative parts and to have obtained in each of them a mark superior or equal to 5.

It will be considered non-evaluable when the student has missed 3 or more seminar sessions or laboratory practices, without justified cause.

The final grade of thecourse will be the sum of the different parts that make it up. According to the agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the grades will be:

From 0 to 4.9 = Suspension
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Approved
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
From 9.0 to 10 = Honorary registration
The student has the right to review the assessment tests. For this purpose, the date will be specified in Moodle.

Students who have not passed the course through the continuous assessment may take a resit test at the end of the course.

The special and particular situations will be valued by the coordinator of the subject and the tutor of the group.

All assessment tools will be available in Moodle at the beginning of the course.

 

Absences:

The following situations are considered justified absences from laboratory and seminar practices:

Official exam
Acute disease
Specialized medical visit
Elite Athletes Competition (Non-Training)
Death of a relative or close person
Outside of these situations, each absence will mean a reduction of one point for each absence in the final grade, up to a maximum of 3 absences.

Any sign of academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism or manipulation of assessment documents, etc., or any discriminatory, violent or disrespectful attitude towards classmates and / or teachers, will result in the immediate suspension of the subject.
