There are no official prerequisites. It is recommended to pass the subject Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System.
The syllabus studies the main functional brain systems and the consequences of their disorganization due to injuries or diseases of the central nervous system, in order to prepare students for the systematic study of language pathology (aphasiology) caused by these injuries and also introduce them into the specific rehabilitation techniques of the corresponding disorders. Other subjects of the Degree deepen into specific aspects of the rehabilitation of speech, language and swallowing disturbances: Dysphagia and related disorders (101712), Neurodegenerative diseases and dementias (101711), Technological innovation applied (101694), Practicum III (101696).

Methodology
The course will consist of a theoretical module and a practical module with clinical case sessions and computerized sessions with self-learning materials. Training activities with an approximate number of hours of dedication and corresponding learning outcomes are those that are specified.
Students may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with linguistic correction of their work, but not as content generators. Improper use may be considered a breach of academic integrity.
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
Continued evaluation
It involves carrying out theoretical-practical assessments throughout the semester and presenting activities on the practical classes.
The theoretical exam I (EV1) and the theoretical exam II (EV2) correspond to partial test-type evaluations to evaluate the content studied in each semester.
The oral presentation (EV3) corresponds to a group presentation of part of the content of the subject.
In terms of practical activities, EV4, EV5, EV6 and EV7 are in groups and face-to-face. Activities EV6 and EV4 take place during the first evaluation period. Activities EV7 and EV5 take place during the second evaluation period.
Unique Assessment
The single evaluation implies giving up the continuous evaluation.
In the single assessment, all the assessable evidence will be carried out in a single session:
- Completion of partial exams EV1 and EV2.
- Delivery of activities EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6 and EV7.
The single assessment will take place on the same day as the EV2. The approximate duration of the single evaluation will be 3.5 hours.
It should be borne in mind that the single assessment does NOT imply that the student does not attend class or that he does not have to follow the course schedule.
Recovery
Students who have not reached the established criteria to pass the subject and who have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the exam may choose to take any of the recovery activities.
- It is necessary to pass with a score equal to or greater than 5 points each of the learning evidences that the student presents in the recovery.
- In the weighted calculation of the final grade, a score of 5 points will be incorporated for each of the learning evidences recovered.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment.
Final qualification
The subject will always be approved when the weighted average grade is equal to or higher than 5 points and this average grade will be calculated from all the evidence of learning that has a grade equal to or greater than 4. In the event that these requirements are not met, the maximum grade will be 4, 5.
If a recovery is necessary, the student will have to repeat the suspended learning evidence with a grade of less than 4 as long as it has been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject.
Students who have NOT submitted evidence of learning with a weight of at least 40% will be considered NOT evaluable.
Apart from the specific content of each class, it will be sought that students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on outstanding issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
It is not foreseen that the students of 2nd or later registration will be evaluated by means of a single non-retrievable synthesis test.
