Teaching and learning activities
In person
The goals of the subject will be achieved through compulsary clinical seminars. In some of the sessions the students must prepare a summary or a presentation based in the papers proposed by the teacher. The students will work in teams of up to 4 members. In the seminar any student can be asked. There will not be accepted to have a presenter within the group. All group members have to be prepared to present in the seminar.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
multiple choice test
In case of students with special needs an oral exam can be offered, previous approval of the professor of the subject and the academic secretary.
Failing to assist two seminars or failing to present two works in moodle will make it impossible to pass the subject. Once the lecture is started students will not be allowed to enter the class.
The final grade will be determined by the clinical grade (30%), the theoretical exam grade (70%). The two parts must be passed separately to pass the courseBibliography and resources
