Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical and Practical classes.

Problem-guided learning.

Observation of procedures.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching / learning methodologies will depend on the existing epidemiological situation and we can have one of the 3 scenarios:

A. Face-to-face - classes will take place in the usual manner

B. Blended format for contact hours:

. Theoretical classes will be held with presence of some students or totally remotely via Zoom in a synchronous way.

. TP classes will be held with presence of some students or totally remotely via Zoom in a synchronous way with discussion of clinical cases.

. Practical classes: the groups will be divided into two parts, half should have contact with the real patient and the other half with the virtual patient or perform another activity indicated by the teacher, alternating the following week.

C. Distance learning - this model will only be applied if the conditions for semi-face-to-face teaching are impossible due to pandemic and will be done entirely with the use of virtual patients and digital platforms.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Amount of time allocated to each course unit

Designation	Time (hours)
Estudo autónomo	49,00

Eligibility for exams

As a condition to obtain practical frequency, it is necessary to attend the legal number of classes (3/4 of the classes taught), the practical work (written work) and completion of the book of acts (face-to-face participation).

Calculation formula of final grade

Final theoretical choice of multiple choice: 50% = 10 values.
Practical tests (analysis of clinical cases during class): 50% = 10 values.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Final theoretical oral exam: 50% = 10 values. Practical tests (analysis of clinical cases during classes): 50% = 10 values.

Classification improvement

Repetition of the theoretical exam, being able to keep notes of the practical component or repeat the practical tests.
