Methodology

A student-centered methodology that is active in the learning process is applied. The Teaching staff will propose different teaching teaching activities, considering the combination of several methodologies: theoretical, seminars, tutorials, and individual activities.

Activities Autonomous: Search information in different documentary backgrounds, select it to study it to apply it to the health education program. This synthesized information is shared in the group in order to agree on the most pertinent information for the program.

Theory lecture: On the theoretical and methodological contents of the subject and the work of the student related to the theoretical content.

Specialized Seminars: The role of the student is active because he is responsible for his learning. The activities are carried out in groups of 4-5 students. 

The role of the teacher is a facilitator and guide of this Learning Process. The seminars are organized by blocks, depending on whether the student decides to do a traditional Educational Project or a Service Learning project. In each seminar, a part of the project is elaborated and discussed.

The seminars are obligatory. Any absence must be PROPERLY JUSTIFIED

Tutorials:  The tutorials are to clarify doubts about the theoretical contents.

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

The evaluation system is formative throughout the learning period. This evaluation is continued to assess the level of achievement of the learning outcomes and adapt the program according to the learning needs of the students.

The assessment criteria are explained to the student on the first day of class. The document for evaluating written and oral defense work is published on the virtual campus.

There are two types of assessment tests:

1. Oral written and defense work Represents 40% of the final grade. It consists of the oral and written presentation of the results of the group work: health education program. At the time of the oral evaluation, the same work will be presented in writing and the presentation in ppt. This evaluation consists of 2 parts: • The first is the written work and oral defense the first part. At the time of the presentation, the work will be delivered via e-mail. • The second is the written work and the final oral defense. At the time of the oral presentation the work will be delivered via e-mail. • It is imperative to obtain a mark equal to or greater than 5 in each of these assessments (1st part and 2nd part) to be able to calculate the average mark of the written work and oral defense. That is to say, a student does not approve the written work and the oral defense if in any of these parts it has a note inferior to 5.

2. Final evaluation Represents 40% of the final mark. There will be a test of evaluation of the theoretical part with questions of type test with 4 options of answers, and brief questions of development. Minimum required mark to make the Weighted average = 5.

3. Assistance and assessment Seminars. It represents 20 % and will be considered attendance, participation, and coordination with the working group. Final assessment to pass the subject, oral written, and defense work must be presented and submitted to the final assessment.

ATTENDANCE TO THE THEORY IS NOT MANDATORY BUT THERE WILL BE THREE THEORETICAL SESSIONS IN WHICH AT THE END OF THIS SESSION THE CONTENTS WILL BE EVALUATED WITH A LITTLE EXERCISE THAT WILL SCORE 0.5 POINTS OF THE FINAL EXAM GRADE. THEREFORE, IF THE STUDENT ATTENDS ALL THREE SESSIONS, THEY MAY HAVE 1.5 MORE POINTS IN THE GRADE OF THEIR FINAL EXAM.

The final assessment

The final assessment is the weighted result of the written work and oral defense  (40%), assistance (20%) and final (40%). To pass the subject it is mandatory to present to all the assessment parties. The weighting will be carried out whenever the mark is obtained from the assessments: each of the 2 parts of written and oral defense work is at least 5 and the final evaluation is at least 5.

By final assessment the current Regulations for the evaluation of UAB studies are applied. The date of the review of the test will be specified in the Moodle.

It is considered Non-Appraising (NA) in one of these situations:

  • Attendance at seminars is mandatory. The lack of the seminar must be PROPERLY JUSTIFIED. If it is not justified will be discounted 0,5 points of the final qualification.
  • Only is possible to miss two seminars. More lack of the seminar is No assessment.
  • The student has not submitted a part of the written and oral defense work.
  • The student has not been submitted to the final evaluation

Special Situations

Only students who have not passed the subject by means of the continuous assessment can submit to a recovery test. 

This subject is not expected to be evaluated with a single evaluation
