4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

A1 - Lectures in large group (2.5 ECTS). Exposure by the teaching staff of the contents of the didactic units of the subject, promoting the discussion and active participation of the students, leading the students to ask and answer questions to end each presentation with a summary-conclusion of the fundamental points.

A2 - Lessons practice groups (3 ECTS). Teacher explanation and demonstration of the technique and/or procedure with biomechanical material. Repetition by students of the technique and/or procedure, teacher evaluation and group discussion about the technique performance.

- A3 - collective / individual tutorials (0.5 ECTS). The teacher places students in the aim of the subject. The teacher recommends initial basic documentation to consult, helping students to gradually deepen in other reference documents. Periodically, the teacher evaluates and reviews the partial construction of care plans in order to correct deviations or errors and solve any doubts that the students ask. The students are advised and they have an individually tracking on their learning process in order to guide them in the field and to know what difficulties they have to help them to achieve the relevant skills in the subject through the development of care plans.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
