Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation by the teacher (expository teaching) guided by audiovisual media. Keynote sessions will aim to convey general knowledge about the subject and solve doubts. They will take place on Tuesdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., on alternate weeks. |
| Workshop |
Students will develop eminently practical tasks (both in the classroom and at home) on specific themes, with the support and supervision of the teacher: study of clinical cases, debate and discussion of specific contents of the subject, review, and analysis of papers selected by the teacher and related topics, videos, reviews of current news... |
| Supervised projects |
The student will develop a supervised work (experimental or theoretical) related to the subject. Regardless of the type of selected work (experimental or theoretical), it will include the review of scientific articles (in Spanish and English) on the topic and a critical appraisal of them. The work must be exposed in class with the support of audiovisual media. |
| Multiple-choice questions |
The topics treated in class during the keynote sessions will have to be overcome by a written test consisting of 30 questions with 4 response options. |
