Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Being a theoretical curricular unit, the oral presentation will be made by the teacher to approach the programmatic contents, using the expository methodology. The discussion and dialogue with the students will essentially serve to stimulate their participation, orienting them towards reflective study and analysis, directed at the pathophysiological phenomena themselves, but contextualizing them where appropriate in the social and affective life of the child, of the adolescent or young person, in which the family is included. The evaluation will be according to model A according to RAAAUMa. In normal time it will comprise two written tests of 1 hour each and with the weight of 50% for the final classification of the CU. Minimum success rating on each test of 9.5 values. In case of failure, the classification can be recovered at the time of appeal or special. The improvement of the classification will also imply the evaluation of all the contents given.
