In order to pass the subject, it will be compulsory:

1. Attendance at a minimum of 70% of the practical sessions. For these purposes, absences duly motivated by health issues will not be taken into account, especially in the case of suspected viriasis compatible with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

2. Only 20% of absences from practical sessions without providing the corresponding justification will be considered.

3. Obtain a mark of more than 5 points out of 10 in the mixed test. In general, this test will have a maximum time of 1 hour.

Given the practical and clinically oriented nature of the subject, there is no possibility of academic dispensation to exempt part-time students from attending practical and seminar classes.

No different assessment methodologies are envisaged for the second or advanced opportunity, or for students with partial enrolment. For second and subsequent enrolment students, the qualification obtained in the continuous assessment sections of the practical and interactive block, as well as the case study, may be retained on request, provided that these were passed in previous years. Otherwise, the aforementioned sections will be assessed by means of a practical exam.

Students who do not sit the combined exam will be given a grade of Not Committed, regardless of whether the grade obtained in the continuous assessment of the practical and interactive block and the case study is retained. Students who achieve a grade equal to or higher than 9/10 will be eligible for the mention of Honours, in accordance with the limits established in article 21 of the UDC's "Rules for assessment, review and claims for qualifications in undergraduate and master's degree courses". Honours will be awarded in all cases to the highest overall grade/s.

PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism and the use of non-original material, including material obtained from the internet, without express indication of its origin and, if applicable, the permission of its author, will be graded with a fail (0.0) in the activity. This is without prejudice to any disciplinary responsibilities that may arise following the corresponding procedure.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Oral exhibition complemented with the use of audiovisual means and the introduction of some questions headed to the students, with the purpose to transmit knowledges and facilitate the learning.
Laboratory practice	Methodology that allows that the students learn sure enough through the realisation of activities of practical character, such like demonstrations, exercises, experiments and investigations. In this matter the practical modules will centre by a part in the static exploration-dynamic of the complex articulate foot-ankle as well as his relation with the global assessment of the superjacent levels. Later they will experience some of the therapeutic technicians that give answer to the possible dysfunctions that result of the process of assessment, fundamentally consistent in the technician of taping (rigid, elastic and neuromuscular) as well as in the correct application of other physical agents.
Directed discussion	Methodology that allows that the students learn sure enough through the realisation of activities of practical character, such like demonstrations, exercises, experiments and investigations. Technician of dynamics of groups in which the students argue of free form, informal and spontaneous on a subject, especially the resolution of a problem generally of pathomechanics topic relative to clinical field, proposed and coordinated by the moderador of the debate, in this case the professor.
Case study	Methodology where the students confront in front of the description of a specific situation that arouses a problem that has to be comprised, valued and resolved by a group of students, through a process of discussion.
Workbook	Group of texts and documentation written that they were collected and/or edited with the aim to serve like source of profundización of the contents worked through other methodologies.
Mixed objective/subjective test	Regarding questions of essay, collects open questions of development. Besides, regarding objective questions, can combine questions of multiple answer, of ordenación, of brief answer, of discrimination, to complete and/or of association.
Introductory activities	After the presentation of the subject, will establish a colloquium in which it will treat of identify which are the interests of the students in relation to the topics, its possible practical utility, as well as the initial knowledges of which splits . Activities that carry out before initiating or process of education-learning, with the purpose to know the competitions, student´s interests and/or motivations for the attainment of the aims that pretend reach, linked to a formative program. With her it pretends obtain notable information that allow to articulate the teaching to favour an effective and significant learning, that split of the previous knowledges of the students.
