Assessment Activity
|
% |
Remediable subject
|
| In-class quizzes (e.g., Kahoot) |
Quizzes will be done in classroom, starting at 09:00 h. All students must arrive on time for the evaluation. Students who arrive late (after the beginning of the evaluation), will not have the chance to do it, and therefore, their mark will be 0 (zero). Those will have to wait outside the classroom until the activity is finished. It is important that each student bring their own electronic device (mobile phone, tablet or laptop) provided with internet. A total number of 3 online tests will be done throughout the course and an average will be calculated. This will count as 10% of the final mark. |

| Case-based learning |
Groups will be evaluated based on: Completion: Successfully solving all 4 stages within the 2-hour timeframe. Accuracy: Providing correct answers and sound clinical reasoning. Teamwork: Demonstrating effective communication and collaboration. Time Management: Completing each stage within 30 minutes to avoid penalties. |

| Final exam |
This is a multiple-choice exam that represents 60% of the overall qualification, and a minimum score of 5 is required to pass.
The duration of the exam is 90 minutes.
Each question includes 5 possible answers, with only one correct option.
Every correct answer is worth 0.25 points, while every incorrect answer deducts 0.25 points |

Grading
The evaluation system in EUSES - UdG is based, in general, in the continuous assessment. If the student wishes to take part in the unique pathway, he / she will need to request it in writing to the lecturer of the subject and the degree coordinator during the first two weeks of the Semester.
This subject will be continuously assessed through Moodle quizzes (10%), oral presentations (30%) and the final exam (60%).
Note: A minimum score of 5 is required to obtain the weighted average score, which includes Moodle quizzes, oral presentations and the final theoretical exam. This average will be the overall score of the subject. If the student scores less than 5 on the theoretical exam, he/she will not be able to count the continuous assessment (Moodle quizzes and oral presentations) as part of their final mark. In this case, the student will have to sit the Basic Competences Exam (BCE).
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
Students not attending to neither the continuous assessment nor the final assessment will be marked with a 'not seated' for the corresponding evaluation.
Single Assessment:
Those electing to follow the unique pathway will have the theory exams in the official exam week. It´s required to receive an 5/10 or above.
Minimum requirements to pass:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0
Mentorship
The tutorials will be carried out in person in enabled classrooms, and also virtually.
Communication and interaction with students
Communication and interaction with the students will be done in person and virtually throughout the forum of Moodle, video-conferencing means and email.
Remarks
Learning outcomes:
- Knowing the diseases by identifying the manifestations appearing throughout the process, as well as the fundamental medical-surgical treatments in their physiotherapeutic and orthopedic aspects.
- Defining and describing the generic concepts of the pathology of the locomotor system.
- Understanding and recognising the pathologies in each region and the clinical and mechanical importance of the disease evolution.
