There are no official prerequisites.
It is advisable to have basic knowledge of cellular biology, physics, and chemistry. Due to the necessity of conducting practical work in the dissection room, students must commit to maintaining confidentiality and professional secrecy regarding the data to which they may have access during their learning activities, and must uphold a professional ethical attitude in all their actions. They must also have completed the security certificate attesting that they have passed the specific test on good practices in the dissection room.
The Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System course, in the first year of the degree program, focuses on studying the structure and function of the nervous system, especially the parts that control voice, speech, and language. The objectives are to teach in an integrated manner how the nervous system functions to enable the production of voice, speech, and language in humans.
General Justification:
The Speech Therapy Degree, as a healthcare qualification, teaches in its core courses the structure and function of organs related to voice, speech, and language. This prepares students to address clinical subjects and perform rigorous professional work based on scientific knowledge. Speech therapists prevent, detect, evaluate, diagnose, and treat speech, voice, language, and swallowing disorders across all age groups, in addition to conducting scientific research. They must have knowledge of the sensory, motor, and cognitive nervous systems to understand, diagnose, treat, prevent, and research disorders affecting voice, speech, and language.

Educational Activities and Methodology
Lectures: The subject matter will be systematically presented, emphasizing key concepts. Attendance at these lectures, while not mandatory, is recommended to reinforce basic scientific knowledge acquired through personal study.
Case Studies: Cases related to the subject will be presented for individual or collective study, complementing personal study.
Practical Sessions: Practical work in the laboratory will be conducted to observe anatomical structures and learn physiological techniques, promoting group work and active self-learning. Access to the dissection room requires wearing a gown, gloves, and other current protective measures, as well as completing the safety certificate. Any form of imaging in the dissection room is prohibited.
Preparation and Presentation of a Review Paper: Students will form groups of no more than four people to prepare a review paper on proposed topics. This paper will be presented and orally defended, with a maximum four-page summary submitted.
Use of IA
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
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.

Evaluation Model:
Each program block will be individually evaluated, both in theoretical content and practical application (laboratory practices and case studies). The evidence will be returned at the end of the corresponding evaluation period as indicated in the table by publishing the results on the virtual campus:

Evaluation Blocks:
To pass the subject, each block must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.0 within the same academic year.
Continuous Assessment:
Includes:
A. Partial Exam with:
Multiple-choice items and/or restricted written questions to assess theoretical knowledge (EV1 and EV3, for Anatomy and Physiology blocks, respectively). These scores will account for 30% of the overall grade.
Multiple-choice items and/or restricted written questions to assess practical concepts (EV2 and EV4, for Anatomy and Physiology blocks, respectively). These scores will account for 10% of the overall grade.
B. Tests during the course on knowledge acquired in laboratory practices, case studies, and presentation of the paper. These tests will account for 20% of the final grade, distributed as follows:
The subject will be considered passed with an average grade of 5 or higher across all assessments. To calculate the average, a grade of 5 or higher is required in EV1 and EV3, and a grade of 4 or higher in EV2, EV4, EV5, and EV6.
Final Recovery Exam:
A final recovery exam will be administered for students who did not pass any block in the continuous assessment. Students wishing to improve their grade must request it, forfeiting the previous grade and considering only the final recovery exam grade.
Exam Review Procedure:
Claims regarding the exam questions can be submitted within two days following the exams. Grade reviews will be conducted during the announced period along with grade publication.
Single Assessment:
Students may opt for a single assessment, based on the same content and competencies as continuous assessment. This will involve completing all evaluative tests in a single session, coinciding with the EV3 date of continuous assessment. A minimum grade of 5 in the theoretical exam is required to pass each block.
THE SINGLE ASSESSMENT IS REQUESTED TELEMATICALLY (E-FORM) DURING THE SPECIFIC PERIOD (more information on the Faculty's website). There is no provision for a synthesis test for second registration students.
Exam translation:
THE DELIVERY OFTHE TRANSLATION OF THE ON-SITE ASSESSMENT TESTS WILL BE CARRIED OUT IF THE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN ARTICLE 263 ARE COMPLETED AND YOUR REQUEST IS MADE IN WEEK 4 TELEMATICALLY (EFORM) (more information on the Faculty's website).
