Teaching methodology will involve lessons of theory that we will try to make as participative as possible.

We will also do a practical lesson in the computer room to calculate and discuss the sensitivity of a surveillance program.

At the same time, students will have to carry out a self-learning job searching information about the situation of a disease in some part of the world and propose a method to control or eradicate the disease in a given country. They will have to present it to their peers in an oral session

Teaching material will be available in the Moodle, which we use to exchange documents between students and teachers.

The final grade is calculated on the basis of:

- Health policy exam (30% of the grade)

- Examination of diseases of legal importance (45% of the grade)

The exams will be test-type questions and a few short questions. To pass the subject you need to get a 5 in each of the exams

Work (oral presentation): Establish a control or eradication plan for a disease in a specific country in the world (25% of the mark)

In the last week, the exams can be recovered. Students who, having passed, want to increase their grade, must take into account that only the last exam will be assessed.

The single assessment consists of a test that includes a summary examination of the contents of the entire theory program with a weight of 30% for health policy and 45% for diseases of legal importance. On the same day, there will be an oral presentation of the disease control work with a weight of 25%. The grade obtained that day in these tests is 100% of the final grade of the subject.

To pass the subject you need to get a 5 from the part of health policy and another 5 from the part of diseases of legal importance.

The single assessment test will coincide with the same date fixed in the calendar for the last continuous assessment test and the same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment.  Students who, having passed, want to increase their grade, must take into account that only the last exam will be assessed.

Students who have not taken the synthesis exams and have not given the oral presentation will be classified as non-evaluable. 

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
