Theory.
This teaching typology has the purpose of providing students with the necessary knowledge and skills in order to elaborate and carry out the nursing care process as well as working in a practical way on the ethical apects involved in different situations of professional life.
Theory sessions are based on interactive work between the teacher and students. In this sense, during the sessions, different aspects combined:
a) Teaching given by the professor
b) Exercises of reflection and practices to carry out in the clasroom
The active participation of the student in the proposed activities is imperative.
Specialized Seminars (SESP).
Based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the whole group theory sessions, students will work on in a practical way and in small groups, all the phases of the nursing methodology. The final result will be the elaboration of a complete nursing care process based on a proposed clinical case.
Specialized seminars are planned to be worked in groups of 20-25 students. Groups will be defined by the subject coordinator at the beginning of the academic year and students will be informed through the subject’s Moodle.
Attending seminars is mandatory. Non-attendance affects the final mark negatively.
Individualized tutorials.
Specific tutorials can be arranged by contacting the teacher by email.
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.

Theory:
Written Evaluation: Objective tests.
Corresponds to 50% of the final mark.
Its objective is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of the subject worked on in the theoretical sessions and it will be done at the end of them. This written evaluation will consist of open questions of short answer and / or questions with multiple choice (test type). In the multiple-choice test, questions will include 4 options of answer. Wrong answers substract points according to the following formula: x = correct- (wrong/n-1) where n is the number of answer options.
Students must get a minimum score of 5 to make the weighted average.
Seminars:
Evaluation through case studies and problem solving: preparation and written delivery.
It accounts for 25% of the final mark.
Elaboration and delivery of a Nursing Care Process based on proposed cases
Evaluation through case studies and problem solving: presentation and oral defense.
It accounts for 25% of the final mark.
Oral presentation and defense of the Nursing Care Process presented and of de works and cases with ethics parts.
The evaluations are carried out through the headings prepared for this purpose and uploaded to Moodle at the beginning of the seminars.
Attendance to the seminars is mandatory. For each lack of attendance to a seminar there will be a reduction of 1 point of the seminars’ final mark. If a student misses 4 or more seminars, he / she will be excluded from the team work and marked as Non-Evaluable for the seminars.
OBTAINING THE FINAL QUALIFICATION
The subject’s final grade is the addition of the marks obtained onall proposed evaluations. The requirement to be able to do this addition is:
Obtain a minimum score of 5 points out of 10 in the Written evaluation through objective tests that represents 50% of the mark.
Students who do not take any or none of the assessment tests (the Written evaluation through objective tests that represents 50% of the grade or oral presentations), who do not submit the required written work in the seminars/or accumulate 3 or more lack of attendance to the Specialized Seminars will be marked as Non-Evaluable. If necessary, a non-evaluable will have the numerical equivalence of zero.
Students who have not passed the subject by means of the continuous assessment may submit to a retake exam. To participate in the retake exam, students must have been previously evaluated in activities which have a weight equal to a minimum of two thirds of the subject’s final mark (article 112 of the UAB evaluation regulation).
Students have the right to review the evaluation tests. For that purpose, the date will be specified on the virtual campus.

From 0 to 4.9 = Fail
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Pass
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Good
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
When students do not attend any of the planned assessment activities = Non-Evaluable.
The eventual treatment of particular cases will be studied in a teaching commission created for this purpose.
