Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Collaborative learning A set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and/or supported by information and communication technologies, based on the organisation of the class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by the teacher in order to optimise their own learning and that of the other members of the group.
Directed discussion A group dynamics technique in which the members of a group discuss a topic freely, informally and spontaneously, although they may be coordinated by a moderator.
Workbook They are a set of texts and written documentation that have been collected and edited as a source for further study of the contents worked on.
Laboratory practice Methodology that enables students to learn effectively through hands-on activities such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and investigations.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates essay-type test questions and objective-type test questions. In terms of essay questions, it comprises open-ended essay questions. In addition, as objective questions, it may combine multiple-choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral exposition complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, with the aim of transmitting knowledge and facilitating learning.
The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". The latter is usually reserved for a special type of lecture given by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that involves an original elaboration and is based on the almost exclusive use of the spoken word as a means of conveying information to the audience.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote autonomous learning by students, under the guidance of the teacher and in a variety of scenarios (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things". It is an option based on students taking responsibility for their own learning.
This teaching system is based on two basic elements: independent learning by students and monitoring of this learning by the teacher-tutor.
Case study Methodology where the subject is faced with the description of a specific situation that poses a problem to be understood, assessed and resolved by a group of people, through a process of discussion. The student is faced with a specific problem (case), which describes a real situation of professional life, and must be able to analyse a series of facts, referring to a particular field of knowledge or action, in order to reach a reasoned decision.

Description
Personalised attention will be given by means of individualised tutorials or in small groups, depending on the needs of the students and the methodologies used. These tutorials will preferably be virtual, for which the Teams platform will be used. The tutorials will be held at the student's request or at the request of the subject's teaching staff. The timetable will be in the timetable of the subject or in a timetable agreed between the students and the teaching staff; as long as it does not interfere with the rest of the teaching activities of other subjects.


Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Laboratory practice A7 A8 A9 A20 A33 B3 B4 B10 B23 B29 B36 The following will be assessed: attitude and participation; collaborative attitude (involvement with the group, tasks and the general development of the laboratory); participation (empathetic, proactive, analytical and constructive interaction); respect (for group participants, teachers and laboratory operating rules); responsibility (with oneself and/or with the group, both in the preparation of the work carried out during the laboratory and in the teaching-learning process). Attendance is compulsory and only one session can be excused. This laboratory includes the group practices of elaboration of the practices with the students of 1st year. The analysis of the activity will have a value of 5. The rest of the mark (10 points) is based on the student's individual and group work in the development of the activities with the 1st year students. 15
Mixed objective/subjective test A2 A1 A8 A9 A20 B3 B4 B10 B13 B25 B26 C1 In addition to the knowledge acquired, the student's ability to express him/herself in writing (grammatical and spelling mistakes and the integration of concepts will be assessed negatively). 50
Supervised projects A2 A1 A7 A8 A9 A20 A33 B1 B3 B4 B10 B12 B13 B23 B25 B26 B29 B36 C1 The report of the occupational therapy process carried out throughout the course will be assessed. This document must report the group and individual process articulating the theory and technique addressed in the subject. The use of updated literature will be important and its justification in the proposed case study. In addition, the delivery of a portfolio where the student records all the processes experienced on the first day of class will be assessed with a value of 5. 35
 
Assessment comments

The qualification system will be expressed by numerical qualification in accordance with that established in art. 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003 of 5 September (BOE 18 September), which establishes the European credit system and the qualification system for official university qualifications valid throughout the national territory Qualification system: 0-4.9=Failed 5-6.9=Failed 7-8.9=Notable 9-10=Outstanding 9-10 Honours (Graciable).

A student who, while enrolled in a subject, does not attend the different assessment activities established for the academic year, will be considered as "not presented" (NP). In the absence of specific regulations for each degree course, a student will be considered as "no-show": a) when he/she does not complete the continuous assessment process, under the conditions that appear in the teaching guide, or b) when he/she does not take the official assessment period test. The consideration of NP does not consume a call in the total number of calls that the student has per subject.

In general, the assessment of subjects will be continuous throughout the course, without prejudice to that indicated in the degree's verification reports. The final qualification will be the result of the overall results obtained in all the assessment activities. As a general rule, an assessment activity will be included to be carried out on the dates established in the official academic calendar. This activity may also be established as an overall assessment test of the learning outcomes or, where appropriate, form part of the continuous assessment process. The teaching guides must establish the weighting of the different assessment activities and, where appropriate, of the overall test, within the framework that the centre may establish.

Punctuality and compulsory attendance at all face-to-face hours of the methodologies established in the subject will be assessed.

In order to pass the subject, the student must actively participate in the proposed methodologies, hand in all the assignments and have passed each of the methodologies that make up the evaluation process of the subject. In addition, it will be necessary to have a minimum qualification of 2.75 (out of 5.5) points in the mixed test, and the marks of the other methodologies will only be taken into account for the final qualification, if the student achieves @dito score in the mixed test. If this is not the case, the mark for the examination will correspond to the mark obtained in the mixed exam. The marks obtained in the other methodologies will be taken into account for their qualification in the second opportunity (July), in the case of having passed and passed the mixed exam.

According to the rule that regulates the regime of dedication to study for undergraduate students at the University of A Coruña (approved by the Governing Council on 22/05/2012), when a student is recognised as a part-time student, he/she has the right to enjoy a flexible regime of class attendance and to request the special academic dispensation established in article 4 (section 5) of this rule, as long as it does not negatively affect the student's evaluation process. To this effect, the Academic Committees of the different centres of the UDC specify the scope of the aforementioned dispensation. Therefore, the granting of the request for @dito flexibility will be at the expense of the assessment and decision of the academic committee of the degree in Occupational Therapy, taking into account the methodologies and evaluation criteria of the subjects.

The fraudulent performance of the assessment tests or activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of failure in the call in which it is committed: the student will be graded with a "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence is committed at the first opportunity or at the second opportunity. To this end, the grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary.
