This theoretical-practical curricular unit provides as teaching methodologies the exposition of the contents by the teacher and the active participation of the students both in the discussion of the subjects addressed during the lectures, and in the research to be carried out in the context of their autonomous work and written work to be carried out, which will contemplate the planning of a health education activity. It is expected, in the normal evaluation period according to the model B evaluation of UMa student's learning, two components: a written test and a written work with oral presentation, each contributing 50% to the classification of this unit. The minimum mark of approval for each element is 9.5 points. If it is lower, the student can recover at the time of appeal. In resource/improvement and special evaluation periods, proceed as follows: for the resource each of the components, or both, can be recovered; for improvement, the evaluation will focus on the whole matter.
