The activities of non-presential work focus on the autonomous work of the student for study and bibliographic research, previous analysis of texts with explicit guidance by the teacher.
Continuous assessment of the course will consist of two tests of knowledge assessment, with the weighting of 50% each, consisting of multiple-choice questions and questions with problems of clinical practice; case study (s) related to topics covered in the lectures. Students must obtain a minimum grade of 9,5 points in each of the knowledge assessment tests.
