Teaching Methods
Students will be encouraged to develop knowledge, reflection, questioning and continuous analysis, in the sense of "knowing" and "knowing how".
Both knowledge will be assessed through, students will individually perform a work in the classroom, the final assessment results from the arithmetic average of the two parts of the work (1st part - assessment of a person with a complex wound using instruments of evaluation, 2nd part - construction of the assistance plan), the total of the two moments of the work cannot exceed 8 pages.
For the student to have a positive result in the curricular unit, it is mandatory to have a grade greater than or equal to 9.5 values.
