Teaching Methodologies
Teaching will be through theoretical classes, with exposition of the topics and discussion of articles with the students.
The practical classes will be, fundamentally, based on the resolution of clinical cases. Real clinical cases and articles on the same topic will be presented for analysis and discussion and resolution. Students will have the opportunity to discuss and ask questions with the professor and collaborator within the scheduled time. The continuous evaluation will be carried out in two moments:
– Resolution and presentation of a real clinical case – 40% (P)
– Written test – 60%. (T)
Students with a performance lower than 9 values in any one of the evaluations will be considered to have failed. The approval in UC is obtained when the weighted average of both moments of evaluation results in, at least, 10 values.
