Contingency plan

A modalidade docente da materia Psicoloxía Clínica no curso académico 2021/22 será a “presencialidade con distanciamento social” como medida de prevención. As titorías e seguimento dos traballos tutelados faranse preferentemente de xeito telemático. De non ser posible manter tal distanciamento social polo número de alumnos/as, ou ante novas situacións de emerxencia sanitaria, optarase por unha modalidade semipresencial (ou totalmente non presencial en caso necesario) seguindo o seguinte plan de continxencia. 1. Modificacións nos contidos. Non se realizarán cambios nos contidos. 2. Metodoloxías *Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen - Sesións maxistrais - Obradoiros - Traballos tutelados - Proba de resposta múltiple - Atención personalizada *Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican - As sesións maxistrais e os obradoiros de clase manteranse de forma virtual a través de Teams e Moodle, combinado con material dixitalizado. O seguimento dos traballos tutelados e titorías farase de forma non presencial a través das mesmas plataformas. 3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado Manteranse abertas canles de comunicación directa co alumnado con regularidade a través das plataformas institucionais (Moodle, Teams), ademais de Skype e correo electrónico. 4. Modificacións na avaliación *Observacións de avaliación: Se as condicións sanitarias o permiten, a proba de resposta múltiple e a presentación oral do traballo tutelado será presencial con medidas de distanciamento social. En caso de ter que optar pola non presencialidade por unha nova emerxencia, a proba final realizarase de forma online mediante Microsoft Forms, e o traballo tutelado presentarase de forma telemática a través de Teams. 5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía. Sen cambios.
