Presentation

This UC aims to contribute to the acquisition and development of knowledge regarding the constitution and functioning of integration and control systems, regulation and maintenance systems and reproduction and development systems of the human organism.

Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Goals:
• Acquire knowledge concerning the Integration and Control Systems, Adjustment and Maintenance Systems and, Reproduction and Development of the Human Organism Systems.

Teaching Methods

Use of interactive and conducive methodologies to active participation and bailout provisions of students. Uses of:
• Exhibition in the classroom, using the Power Point and the Prezi programs.
• Tutorial orientation, in person/face-to-face and/or by videoconference (Skipe, Messenger, Colibri).
• Resources: interactive whiteboard, anatomical models and moodle. This last is often used for presentation of teaching content and accomplishment of formative tests.
• E-learning methodology will be used for diffusion of information content and as a complement of the theoretical lessons and practical-theoretical classroom sessions.
As stated in the internal school regulation of UÉ, students can opt for a continuous assessment scheme or by an exam. Continuous evaluation predict 2 written tests in the classroom by Moodle (50% each). Students who do not obtain 10 or more values in the final grade are subject to exam. The Jury of the exam will be presented and known in the suitable means every year
