Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The subject  aims to be a correspondence between the theoretical sessions and the practice sessions, so that these practice sessions to reinforce and support the contents of the subject, to achieve meaningful learning of the student that you can use in the exercise of their future professional work .

The theoretical sessions will take place through interactive lecture, explanatory or demonstrative content sessions, using the blackboard and audiovisual material with computer support.

The practice sessions will be made by:

-Discussion of seminars taught by the teacher. Active participation of the student

- Doping control. Protocol and regulation

- Pharmatutor: Computer simulation:

- Problem-bases learning (PBL1, PBL2 and PBL3)

- Asthenia: clinic cases

 - Course portfolio: collected reports relating to the control of the previous practice activities (individual work)

- Realization of a monographic review work, in small groups, on a suggested topic. Presentation and defense. During the realization of the same, corresponding teachers will have various interviews with the working groups for academic orientation and supervisión.

Classroom materials will be available via Moodle. These include a repository of the lecture notes used in class, the course syllabus, as well as other course-specific learning materials. (http://www.unizar.es/dvirtual.htm)
