Methodology

NOTE: The proposed methodology may undergo some modification depending on the face-to-face restrictions imposed by the health authorities.

In accordance with the objectives of the subject, the teaching methodology of the course is based on the following activities:

DIRECTED ACTIVITIES
Lectures (39 hours): Systematic exhibition of the subject, giving relevance to the most important concepts. The student acquires basic knowledge of the subject attending master classes and complementing them with personal study of the topics explained.
Seminars (4 hours): Sessions with a smaller number of students. Three hours of anatomy of the head are programmed. One hours of clinical seminar are scheduled where students apply the knowledge acquired to solve clinical cases.
Practical Labs (10 hours): The students attend in small groups to the dissection room to study the different thematic contents of the subject in their respective sections. Students identify different anatomical structures in dissections, prosections and imaging techniques (radiology, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, etc.). The objective is to consolidate the knowledge acquired in lectures, tutorials and the autonomous activities.

SUPERVISED ACTIVITIES
Tutorials: The tutorials will be made in a personalized way in the teacher's office (hours to be arranged). The aim of the tutorials is to clarify concepts, establish the knowledge acquired and facilitate the study by the students. They can also be used to solve doubts that the students have about the preparation of the seminars.

AUTONOMOUS ACTIVITIES
Comprehensive reading of texts and articles. Personal study, schemes and summaries preparation. Conceptual assimilation of the contents of the subject.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

NOTE: The proposed evaluation may undergo some modification depending on the face-to-face restrictions imposed by the health authorities.

The competences of the subject are evaluated through two partial exams, each with a weight of 50% to the final grade of the subject. The subject of each partial exam can be eliminatory if the students reach a minimum grade of 5.00. All students will have two opportunities to pass the two parts of the subject: partial exam (during the semester) and retrieval exam (at the end of the semester).

PARTIAL EXAMS:

The subject will program 2 partial exams with a weight of 50% each.

  • First partial: This partial exam will focus on the contents of the head, respiratory, urogenital and the digestive systems. Lectures of section 1, 2, 3 + PLAB 1, 2, 3 + SEM 1 + SEM 2.
  • Second partial: It will focus on the contents of sense organs and nervous system. Lectures of section 4, 5 + PLAB 4, 5 + SEM 3.

Each partial will consist of: written evaluations: objective tests based in lectures, SEM and PLAB contents.

  • Test evaluation - Multiple-choice questions: test with 5 answers, only 1 true and with a penalty of 0.25 points for incorrect answer. This test represents 60% of the partial mark.
  • No test evaluation - This test represents 40% of the partial mark.

The mark of each partial = test evaluation (60%) + no test evaluation (40%).  A grade below 5.00, the student will NOT have eliminated partial matter. In these cases, the student will have to submit to the examination of recovery of the partial not eliminated.

RECOVERY EXAM:

The students who have eliminated subjects in the partial evaluations will not be obligated to make the final evaluation or recovery.
The subject will schedule a final assessment, in accordance with the Faculty’s teaching calendar. 

Students with the following criteria have to attend the final evaluation:

  • Students who have not eliminated material in 1 or 2 partials.
  • Students who have not submitted to any of the partial exams.
  • Students who have eliminated material but want to upgrade one or both partial exams. In these cases:
    • An email must be sent to the coordinator of the subject at least 1 week before the recovery exam.
    • Although the student presents to the recovery exam to upgrade, it is mandatory to have a minimum grade of 5.0 on the partial exam of the recovery exam. Otherwise, the student will have suspended the subject.

The recovery exam of each partial will consist of written evaluations: objective tests based in lectures, SEM and PLAB contents.  The student who has to recover the 2 partials, will recover the 1st partial + the 2nd partial. It will have, then, a partial note of recovery of the 1st part and another of the 2nd part.

To pass the recovery exam, The student needs a grade of 5.00 to pass the recovery exam. In case the student will NOT have approved the partial recovery exam and therefore the student will have suspended the subject. 

GRADE OF THE SUBJECT:

Grade of the subject = 1st partial (50%) + 2n partial (50%).

The final grade of the subject will have a numerical expression, with a decimal on the scale of 0-10 and with the qualitativeequivalence in accordance with the criteria of the UAB, of “suspens” (0-4.9), “aprovat” (5.0-6.9), “notable” (7.0 -8.9) and “excellent” (9.0-10.0). Following indications of the UAB will be rounded off to the nearest whole number when it is one tenth of a value that entails a qualitative change of qualification. The honour distinction will be among students who have achieved an excellent qualification. The number of license plates awarded may not exceed 5% as established by the academic regulations of the UAB.

To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5.0 in each part (1st and 2n partial). In case that a part has a good mark but in the other part the mark is less than 5.0, the student's mark will be 4.8 points maximum, although the weighted sum of the two parts is greater than or equal to 5.0. The mark of each part is that obtained in the partial exams or in the recovery exam.

It is considered a non-evaluable student, who has NOT performed a minimum of two evaluation activities.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, REVISIONS:
Exams (day, hour, classroom ...) and revision of the marks will be announced through the UAB moodle. The procedure for reviewing marks will be in accordance with the current regulations of the UAB and in any case be individually.
