GENERAL EDUCATIONAL METHODS

Credits: 4 ECTS = 100 hours

AUTONOMOUS WORK (50% of the total = 50 hours): Comprehensive reading of texts and articles, study and realization of schemes, summary and conceptual assimilation of the contents. It also includes preparation of presentations and delivery.

EVALUATION (5% of the total = 5 hours): one or two partial exams and a final exam, evaluation of the practices

DIRECTED TEACHING TYPOLOGIES (45% of the total = 45 hours): Includes 25 theoretical classes (lectures, TE typology), 8 specialized seminars of 1 hour each (SEM typology, with a standard size of 20 students), seminars of clinical cases (SCC typology), which includes two seminars of 1 hour each, with groups of 5 to 12 students, preferably at the end of the practices, in which students will discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment of the most common dermatoses, under the supervision of a tutor, and 10 hours (2.5 hours x 4 days or 2 hours x 5 days) of clinical care practices (typology PCAh), in which students will go to the hospitalization rooms, outpatient clinics, operating rooms and examination cabinets.The practical training will take place in the Dermatology Department of the hospital(s) associated with each Teaching Unit, including the possibility of completing it at affiliated Primary Care Centers.

SUPERVISED TEACHING TYPOLOGIES:

VIRTUAL CLASSES (VIRT TYPOLOGY)

Teaching given without classroom presence under the permanent and personalized supervision of the student and using intensively the information and communication technologies (ICT). The objective of virtual teaching is to facilitate access to learning resources from anywhere and at any time. The self-learning of the theoretical contents by the students will be encouraged, putting at their disposal the subject of at least 10% of the theoretical classes (3 of the 25) in digital format (pdf, audio-pptx, mp4) , preferably in the virtual classroom of Campus UAB. If the epidemiological situation allows, these face-to-face classes will focus on the presentation and interactive discussion of clinical cases on the topic that students must have previously studied with the online material.

TUTORIES

The tutorials will not count as face-to-face hours, but can be scheduled and done individually or in groups, to the teachers' office, in teaching spaces or using the Tics, and the student must be informed of the hours of attention of the teaching staff.

WORK SUBMISSION

The presentation of papers can be scheduled as directed (in the formof SCC, SESP, classroompractices, etc.) or supervised (without a joint student-teacher presence). In any case, it is necessary to define the teaching typology to be used, the measure of the group involved in each session and the training to be used.

In the current exceptional circumstances, at the discretion of the teachers and also depending on the resources available and the public health situation, some of the theoretical classes, practicals and seminars organized by the Teaching Units may be taught either in person or virtually.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

- Continuous evaluation (20%). It will be carried out through at least one written exam, either online (Virtual Campus) or in person (written, kahoot or similar) on clinical cases of the subject explained or part of it until the evaluation date.

It will consist of clinical cases with photos to be answered without answer options or with test questions with 4 or 5 answer options and only one correct. Incorrect answers subtract 0.33 or 0.25 points respectively. Maximum 20 points. Continuous evaluation does not eliminate material from the final exam.

- Final evaluation first and second call

This subject/module does not provide for a single assessment system.

• Evaluation of the theoretical program (50%). Test questions and/or short writing questions. The test questions will have 4 or 5 options (only 1 is true). The correct answer will score 1 point and the wrong answers will subtract 0.33 or 0.25 points respectively. Short writing questions with a correct answer will score 1 point. Maximum 50 points.

• Evaluation of the practical program (30%). Test questions and/or clinical cases with photos to answer without options. The test questions will have 4 or 5 options (only 1 is true). The correct answer will score 1 point and the wrong answers will subtract 0.25 (5 options) or 0.33 (4 options) points. If it is a written response, the success of the diagnosis and the therapeutic attitude will score between 1 and 2 points, depending on the number of cases to be resolved. Maximum 30 points.

The dates for the theoretical and practical evaluations will be established in each teaching unit according to current UAB regulations and the availability of classrooms and calendar.

The final grade will be obtained by adding the grade from the continuous evaluation (20), the theoretical exam (50) and the practical exam (30). The grade is established proportionally out of 100 points and the pass is 50. To pass it will be necessary to obtain a final grade equal to or greater than 50% in each of the final theoretical and practical evaluations, with the possibility of not doing the continuous evaluation.

If a student does not take the continuous evaluation, they will not be able to obtain more than an 8 as a final grade and will also require a 5 as a total grade to pass the subject (that is, they will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 6:25 in the sum of the theoretical and practical part of the final exam, first or second call).

In the second call, students who have not passed the theoretical and/or practical part will appear, being able to appear only in the evaluation that has not been passed.

If a student passes the first call of the final assessment and presents himself to improve his grade in the second call, he must do so in the entirety of the theoretical and practical exam, and this implies that he renounces the grade obtained in the first call and the valid grade will be that of the second call

The possibility of an extra exam to improve a grade is not contemplated.

A day will be set to review exams for students who wish to do so.

The number of honors registrations varies each year and depends on the number of students enrolled. Available registrations will be awarded for the best grades.

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (such as academic fraud, plagiarism, or the unauthorized use of AI, unless such use is expressly permitted in the course syllabus) that could lead to a significant change in the grade will result in a score of 0 for that activity. If the course syllabus stipulates that multiple irregularities across assessment activities for the same course constitute grounds for failure, the final grade for the course will be 0. Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits such irregularities.

Students who do not take the final theoretical and practical assessment tests will be considered "Non-Assessable," thereby exhausting their enrollment rights for the course.
