Teaching Methods
Give particular emphasis to the goals and capabilities that promote student intellectual autonomy and their ability to communicate. It provides for the presentation of the topics and discussion with students in order to facilitate a more active and collaborative learning.
The contents will be separated according to their size, in medical or surgical.
Seeks to develop a teaching that encourages reflection and enhances processes of cognitive and interpersonal nature, advocating the acquisition of concepts through a search process.
Are anticipated hours for tutorials.
Evaluation: will be carried out two written assessment tests, using open and closed questions, lasting two hours each, and which will focus on the syllabus covered throughout the Course. It will be possible, complement these two tests, to carry out a public Oral proof, to students who propose themselves. Other assessment tests will be those resulting from RAUE.
