TEACHING METHODOLOGY
Theoretical classes will be taught online (via Zoom) and made available for deferred viewing throughout the semester.
With regard to practical physiology classes, in order to allow the reduction of the number of students per classroom and in the college spaces, without compromising the proximity and characteristic quality of practical classroom teaching on an ongoing basis, the total number of classes will be maintained, dividing each into two parts: class x.1 and class x.2. Practical classes will be taught in college every week for each class, according to the available calendar, and, in a given week, half of the class (x.1) attend the class in person, while the other half (x.2 ) attends the same class, via online and live, alternating halves each week.
Regarding practical anatomy classes, all 20 classes will be divided in half (Class N.a and class N.b); in a given week only the "a" classes will have class, at the respective time and, during the two hours of the class, the subjects scheduled for that week and the next will be covered; in the following week all classes "b" will have class, in the respective schedule and, during the two hours of the class, the subjects scheduled for the previous week and for the current week will be approached. That is, every fifteen days, all students will approach the subjects scheduled for those two weeks; although with two "classes" at a time and with a week apart. Theoretical introductions (the theoretical part of TP classes) will all be made asynchronously and made available in Moodle, before the respective classes, so that students can prepare in advance.
The practical classes of Histology and Embriology will be non-presential, via Zoom, with slide viewing through a virtual microscope through a website in preparation.
All this information and teaching methodologies are inserted in the pandemic state at the date of publication of this document, however they may be revised and adapted during the school year according to the epidemiological evolution.
EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
All practical tests will be graded on a 0-20 scale. The classification obtained in the practical exam (P) will be the weighted average of the classifications obtained in Anatomy (32.5%), Histology (20%) and Physiology (47.5%).
Students who have to take a practical exam during the appeal period will be evaluated on the three components (Physiology, Anatomy and Histology and Embryology) on the day prior to the theoretical exam.
The practical assessment of Physiology consists of an exam consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. It will be held, in normal season, on December 16 and, in relation to the appeal season, on the day prior to the respective theoretical exam.
The practical anatomy test is of the "gymkhana" type and consists of the identification of 14 anatomical structures. These will be placed in pairs, with the students having 1 minute to identify each set of two structures. This test will take place on the day before the theoretical exam.
The practical assessment of Histology and Embryology will result from a continuous assessment (50%) throughout the classes, in addition to a practical exam (50%). The latter lasts for 16 minutes (8 questions) and consists of identifying structures in the microscope or in electron microscopy photographs. In the normal season, this practical test will take place on October 28, 2020; at the time of appeal, the practical test will take place on the day before the theoretical exam.
Final Theoretical Evaluation
Theoretical exam will be admitted to students who, in the set of practical tests, obtain an average rating of at least 10 values. This classification remains valid for the other assessment periods of the same academic year if students fail the theoretical test.
The theoretical test (T) lasts 120 minutes and consists of 80 questions (0.25 points / question), of which 26 will be open and short answer and 54 multiple choice.
Students who obtain a classification of at least 10 points will be considered approved in the theoretical exam.
Final classification
The final classification (CF) of students who have passed the practical exam and the theoretical exam will be calculated using the formula: CF = (2T + 1P) / 3
