Teaching Methods
Teaching methodologies will be adopted to foster the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills, with an emphasis on research, reflection, critical questioning, and continuous analysis.
Throughout each thematic block, individual and group work activities will be implemented, making use of strategies such as guided reading, classroom debates, and bibliographic research.
Laboratory practices will be scheduled in advance and will focus on the simulation of nursing consultations as well as the design and delivery of Health Education sessions, using the MAES methodology.

Assessment
The assessment system includes both continuous assessment and final assessment, in accordance with the Academic Regulations of the University of Évora (RAUE).
The evaluation of the Course Unit consists of two components:
? Written Exam ? 60%
? Laboratory Practice (PL) ? 40%
To pass the Course Unit, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 9.5 (out of 20) in each of the assessment components.
The final grade is calculated as the weighted average of the following factors:
60% Theoretical component + 40% Laboratory practice component.
Additionally, in order to obtain attendance in the Course Unit, the student must have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes taught (Article 105 ? point 1 of the RAUE).
Students who do not achieve the minimum grade are subject to final assessment, which may include:
? Examination of the Theoretical Component and/or Examination of the Practical Component
? Only students who have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes are eligible to take the examination of the practical component.
