Assessment activities:

CONTINUOUS 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 Cases (CC1, CC2 and CC3), Oral Presentation, and in-class participation and engagement. These activities are described below:

- TCE: Theoretical Content Exam: 40%
- Clinical Cases (CC1 + CC2 + CC3): 30% (10% each; average must reach 5.00)
- Oral Presentation: 20%
- In-class participation and engagement: 10%

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 5.00 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 during the Basic Competencies Exam (BCE) week.

2) Clinical Cases (CC1, CC2 and CC3)

The Clinical Cases correspond to 30% of the final grade of the course (10% each). For each case, students will participate in a simulation and subsequently submit an individual written resolution, applying theoretical knowledge acquired in class. The grade for this component is the average of the three cases, and it is essential to obtain a MINIMUM average mark of 5.00 across the three cases in order to average with the rest of the continuous assessment.

If any activity is not handed in within the established deadline, the grade for that case will be 0.

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

3) Oral Presentation

The Oral Presentation corresponds to 20% of the final grade of the course. Students will present a clinical case in groups. Presentation schedules will be announced at the beginning of the semester.

The Oral Presentation grade is composed as follows:
Group mark (50% of presentation grade): assessed by the teacher based on the quality and coherence of the group presentation.
Individual mark (50% of presentation grade): 90% assessed by the teacher; 10% determined by peer rating, in which each group member rates the contribution of the other members of their group.

NOTE ON AI USAGE:
Allowed: AI tools for visual support, layouts, or image creation.
Prohibited: AI tools for creating, writing, or developing content. The use of AI in the content of any section will automatically result in a score of 0 for that part.

It is essential to obtain a MINIMUM mark of 5.00 in this activity in order to average with the rest of the continuous assessment.

Students who are not presenting during a given session are required to engage actively, including answering questions about the presentations. This engagement is counted as part of the in-class participation and engagement grade.

4) In-class participation and engagement

In-class participation and engagement corresponds to 10% of the final grade of the course. This grade reflects active participation and engagement in class sessions throughout the semester. The specific activities that contribute to this grade will be indicated by the teacher during the course.

This component does not have a minimum mark requirement and is not remediable.


SUFFICIENCY OR RECOVERY EXAM (BCE):

The Sufficiency exam will consist of an exam that will evaluate the theoretical content. In this exam a minimum mark of 5.00 will be required to pass. If a student achieves a mark higher than 5.00 in the sufficiency exam, the grade entered will nonetheless be capped at 5.00 (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 EUSES is, in general, continuous evaluation. Exceptionally, however, students may choose the unique evaluation pathway (UEP) 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:

Theoretical Content Exam (40%)
Individual Oral Case Presentation (60%), specifically:
- Presentation quality (30% of final grade): delivery, slide preparation, and ability to respond to questions.
- Content (30% of final grade): depth and accuracy of clinical reasoning and application of course concepts.

NOTE ON AI USAGE:
Allowed: AI tools for visual support, layouts, or image creation.
Prohibited: AI tools for creating, writing, or developing content. The use of AI in the content of any section will automatically result in a score of 0 for that part.
If you are following the UEP pathway, please request your clinical case details and presentation requirements no later than four weeks before your presentation.

Minimum requirements to pass: In order to pass the course under the UEP, students are required to obtain a minimum mark of 5.00 in each assessment activity and a minimum final mark of 5.00 points overall.

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

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