Teaching and learning activities
In blended
Each week a student will present a schematic presentation of the subject in Power point (10-20 minutes), which consist of a summary of the topic and the objectives to be achieved during the seminar.
The remaining students will perform a review of the literature and input from current items of interest relating to the topic.
Clinical cases may be presented by teachers and students.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In blended
An examination will be made at the end of each quarter with short questions to be developed by the student.
To pass the exams a minimum score of 5 is required. In the case of not passing any of the quarterly examinations, a make-up exam in july will take place.
