Classes include presentations and demos by the instructor and in-class work by the students, involving peer instruction, group discussion, and practical analysis work.
All sessions integrate theoretical and practical learning, there are no specific theory or practical classes. The course is essentially practical, as it is aimed at conferring competences, a reasonable amount of experience, and self-confidence as a potential voice therapist. The student will be the center of her/his own learning process. Understanding one's own voice as starting point to understand the users' voices.
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.

Continued assessment: that is not (only) a fractionated evaluation but a strategy for the student and the instructor to assess learning progression, and to identify areas that require strengthening. Each and every evaluation is part of the learning process. The instructor provides feedback for all the evidences.
Definition of passed course: both EV3 and the global average of EV1,2,3 reached a mark equal or higher than 5.0 out of 10.
Referral evaluation: according to UAB rules, students who fail the course after handing in evaluations amounting to at least 2/3 of the global grade (irrespective of passing or failing them), will qualify to take a referral test. In this course, a final test equivalent to EV3 will take place during the referral evaluations week. To pass the course, a mark equal or higher than 5.0 must be achieved in the referral evaluation.
Condition tobe considered non-assessable: according to UAB rules, having handed in evaluations amounting to less than 40% of the global grade, irrespectiveof passing or failing them.
Misconduct: according to UAB rules, students who cheat or copy in an exam once, or plagiarize an assignment once, will get a 0.0 in that test. If misconduct occurs more than once during the course, the final mark will be 0.0.
Single assessment: this subject does not consider single assessment.
Translation of the on-site assessment tests: the provision of the translation of the on-site assessment tests will be carried out if the requirements established in article 263 are met and the request is made in week 4 electronically (e-form) (more information on the Faculty's website).
