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

Examination of theoretical contents (40%).

Examination of practical contents (40%).

Possibility of small content assimilation tests (10%).

Since the course as a whole consists of two parts (theory and practice), in order to average these assessments, each part must be passed separately (with a grade equal to or greater than 5 points). Otherwise, the course will be considered not passed.

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Continuous assessment will be carried out throughout the course through the submission of activities and/or small level tests, covering both theoretical and practical content, by the students via the PLATEA Virtual Teaching Platform of the University of Jaén. This will account for 20% of the final grade.

Additionally, a final theoretical synchronous online test will be conducted through the PLATEA Platform or the Google Forms application, depending on availability (with the possibility of recording the session via Google Meet). This test will take place on the date established by the Faculty of Health Sciences for each official exam period and will account for 45% of the final grade.

A final practical test will also be conducted via videoconference, consisting of a simulation of a practical case involving a specific type of electrotherapy current. This test will account for 35% of the final grade.

III.- RESOURCES

The computer resources provided by the University of Jaén will be used (PLATEA Virtual Teaching Platform, Videoconferencing via Google Meet, other Google applications: Docs, Slides, Calendar, Drive, Forms) to encourage student participation, as well as electronic bibliographic resources available in the University of Jaén library.

Institution in charge of data processing: Universidad de Jaén, Campus Las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
