Teaching and learning activities
In person
Research work (TI): through autonomous work, students investigate a topic
specific. The results of said investigation will be presented in writing and orally. It is favored
the achievement of the learning results proposed in the TFM.
Tutorials (TUT): this is a personalized and individualized follow-up for the student in which
monitors and advises your work. The result of this activity is the final work of
master.
Autonomous work (TA): Activity to assimilate and internalize knowledge through the development of
comprehensive and reflective study habits; will be carried out through readings, research,
works, search for scientific information, obtaining and analyzing data.
Seminars or conferences (SEM): are training activities in which students participate
actively in cognitive processes. Participation is promoted through debates,
presentation of real clinical cases and subsequent discussion. Part of these activities are the
inverted classes, the case method, among others. The purpose of these activities is to learn,
interpret, resolve doubts, reflect and contrast opinions.
Individual and/or group work (TIG): through study, search for information,
data processing and the internalization of knowledge will allow students to consolidate
their learning.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
EVALUATION SYSTEMS
1 Continuous evaluation (CE)
Continuous evaluation (CE): Assesses and evaluates the learning process of the students from the
continuous monitoring of the work carried out, through the delivery of reports, oral presentations,
carrying out tests, etc., in the different methodologies of the Master. Allows you to have knowledge of
the evolution of the students, to offer feedback, mainly evaluating the acquisition of the
