Grading

CONTINOUS EVALUATION:

In order to pass the course, students are required to obtain a minimum final mark of 5.00 points.

The course will be assessed on the basis of 4 activities: TCE (Theoretical content exam), Clinical Case 1, Clinical Case 2 and Clinical Case 3. These activities are described below:

1. TCE: Theoretical Content Exam: 40%.

2. CC1: Clinical Case 1: 15%

3. CC2: Clínical Case 2: 15%.

4. CC3: Clínical Case 3: 30%

1) Theoretical Content Exam

The TCE corresponds to 40% of the final grade of the course and will evaluate concepts related to the theoretical part of the course.

The test will take place in person within the timetable of the course and the assigned day will be detailed on the first day of class, during the presentation of the course.

It is essential to obtain a MINIMUM mark of 4.00 in this test in order to be able to average the with rest of the continuous assessment.
In case of failing the exam, it can be made up on the dates established by the teacher.

2) Clinical Case 1 (CC1)

The CC1 corresponds to 15% of the final grade of the course.Students will work in groups to analyse a clinical case and solve it applying theoretical knowledge acquired in class.

The activity will consist of group/individual work,simulation, comments on articles/essays and/or presentations.

If the activities are not handed in within the established deadlines, the grade for these activities will be 0.

3) Clinical Case 2 (CC2)

The CC2 corresponds to 15% of the final grade of the course.Students will work in groups to analyse a clinical case and solve it applying theoretical knowledge acquired in class.

The activity will consist of group/individual work,simulatio n,comments on articles/essays and/or presentations.

If the activities are not handed in within the established deadlines, the grade for these activities will be 0.

4) Clinical Case 3 (CC3)

The CC3 corresponds to 30% of the final grade of the course.Students will work in groups to analyse a clinical case and solve it applying theoretical knowledge acquired in class.

The activity will consist of group/individual work,simulation, comments on articles/essays and/or presentations"

If the activities are not handed in within the established deadlines, the grade for these activities will be 0.


If, for any reason, any of the clinical cases cannot be performed, it will be replaced by group/individual work, comments on articles/essays and/or presentations.

SUFFICIENCY OR RECOVERY EXAM:

The Suficiency exam will consist of an exam that will evaluate the theorical content.

In this exam a minimum mark of 5.00 will be required to pass.



Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
A student who does not show up for the continuous evaluation or the single evaluation will be considered as a failed student.

Single Assessment:
The evaluation system of the EUSES is, in general, the continuous evaluation. Exceptionally, however, students may choose the single assessment and, in this case, they will have to fill in an application form during the first two weeks of the course (by e-mail) and inform the lecturer responsible for the subject, and the academic coordination.

The single assessment consists of:
1. Theoretical Content Exam (40%)
2. Resolution of a clinical case CC1 (15%)
3. Resolution of a clinical case CC2 (15%)
4. Resolution of a clinical case CC3 (30%)

Minimum requirements to pass:
In order to pass the course, students are required to obtain a minimum final mark of 5.00 points

Mentorship

Tutoring will be held in person and by appointment with the teacher. In certain cases, the teacher may choose to carry out the tutorials virtually.

Depending on the resolutions of the health authorities and the EUSES direction, these tutorials may be held online when it is considered appropriate according to health developments.

In the case of specific queries, other channels can also be used to resolve them, such as by e-mail

Communication and interaction with students

Communication and interaction with students will be carried out in person and virtually, using the different communication channels available in Moodle, videoconferences or e-mail.

Remarks

The objetives are:

AO1-To be able to formulate diagnostic hypotheses based on the analysis of clinical presentation of the patient.

AO2-To identify effective therapeutic relationships and inclusive and non-harmfull communication.

AO3-To develop skills to manage uncertainty and recognize and mitigate cognitive biases during clinical assessment.

AO4-To Identify and differenciate between deductive and inductive clinical reasoning in the evaluation and management of
clinical cases.


To facilitate the assimilation of knowledge by the student, it is suggested to maintain a continuous work pace

Recommended subjects

  • Anatomia I
  • Biologia
  • Fisiologia I

Design Amendment

Amendment of activities:
Scenario I. Presencial: The theoretical and practical classes will be held in the classroom, at EUSES (face-to-face sessions).

Scenario IV. Lockdown: The theoretical and practical classes will be held virtually and with moodle tasks.

Amendment of the assessment:
Scenario I: Presencial:
The evaluation activities and the percentages of marks that each one gives to the final grade are maintained.

Scenario IV: Lockdown:
The evaluation activities are mantain but with adaptations:

CONTINOUS EVALUATION:
1) TCE: Theoretical Content Exam will be done virtually (40%).
2) CC1: The delivery of the activity will be done through moodle and the follow-up will be done virtually.
3) CC2:The delivery of the activity will be done through moodle and the follow-up will be done virtually.
$) CC3:The delivery of the activity will be done through moodle and the follow-up will be done virtually.

SINGLE EVALUATION:
The conditions set out in the section on "Assessment and qualification" are maintained as the examination and the handing in of assignments will be carried out virtually.


SUFFICIENCY EXAM:
The conditions set out in the section on "Assessment and qualification" are maintained as the examination and the handing in of assignments will be carried out virtually.

Mentoring and communication:
Scenario I. Presential:

Tutorials will take place in the classrooms provided. Communication and interaction with students will be carried out in person or virtually through the channels specified (videoconference, e-mail,...) in the corresponding section of the subject record.

Scenario IV. Lockdown:

Tutorials will be conducted virtually. Communication and interaction with students will be carried out virtually, through the moodle forum, videoconferences and e-mail".
