5. Assessment system
Continuous assessment
4 parts:
Theoretical: with each block of topics there will be a ten-question multiple-choice exam. Minimum 7 to pass them.
It is only allowed to fail an exam below 7. It must be passed independently of the rest of the activities with an average of 7. Those who do not pass this part will be able to take the final theoretical exam, requiring a minimum of 5 to pass. The parts corresponding to the first and second semesters must be passed individually.
Practices: direct and continuous. Activities to be evaluated: reports, instructor´s assessment, completion of Anatomical logbook, etc... Compulsory attendance.
Problem-Based Learning: Cooperative work in small groups. Elaboration of portfolios.
Forum: Quantitative and qualitative assessment of interventions.
Final exam:
If it has not been possible to pass the continuous evaluation:
Both parts must be passed individually to average out.
