Teaching methodology:

a) Academic sessions to the great group of students in presence of professor.
b) Academic sessions to the small group of students: 6 hours of laboratory practice, 6 hours of case and problem based learning.

Teaching methodology for PATIE student:
a) Tutorial session, proposal of activities and exercises in English (in presence of professor or virtual): 1 hour per week
b) Lecturer (Practice): 1-5 hours per week
c) Seminars: 0-2 h hours per week
d) Homework: 4 hours per week

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

Assessment methodology:
1) Evaluation of participation and attendance (5%), 2) theoric curriculum (75%), 3) Evaluation of laboratory practice (10%), 3)Evaluation of training activities including case and problem based learning and oral presentation (10%).

Theory will be evaluated by partial evaluation exams (eliminatory with mark equal or higher than 5 points) and a final exam.

Laboratory Practice will be evaluated by the presentation of lab results. The attendance to laboratory sessions and the presentation of the results are compulsory.

Training activities including oral presentation and case and problem based learning will be evaluated by the proffessor in base to the quality of the presentation made and dicussion.

The student can choose to make the exams in Spanish or English.

1. Teaching methodology:

a) Academic sessions to the great group of students: 48 hours face to face in the extension allowed for the sociosanitary situation. 

b) Academic sessions to the small group of students. If it can not be done in person in its integrity, the following will be carried out: 3 hours of laboratory practice, 3 hours of online laboratory practice, 2 hours of online activity in computer room, 4 hours of online case and problem based learning activities including oral exposition and discussion and other activities.
