Teaching Methodologies
Supervised and integrated training combining studies and seminars. All supervisors will be professionals in the Laboratory Biomedical Sciences. The work will be evaluated and classified by the supervisor in an evaluation document. The student will be invited to write a reflective diary (DR) about his professional development and performance. The DR will be uploaded to a web-based learning platform and students will be asked to give their feedback. Both the DR and the feed-back will be reviewed by the teachers. Web-based seminars will serve to discuss and reflect on quality assessment, diagnostic possibilities and the role of diagnostic partners. The student will present in written or oral form the laboratory methods used in the selected laboratory. The student will demonstrate with an example the problem solving of the selected laboratory. In order to approve, the student must obtain a minimum of 60% in each task of the module.
