1) METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF NURSING (BM):

Theory.

This teaching typology has the purpose of providing students with the necessary knowledge and skills in order to elaborate and carry out the nursing care process. 

Theory sessions are based on interactive work between the teacher and students. In this sense, during the sessions, different aspects combined:

a) Teaching given by the professor

b) Exercises of reflection and practices to carry out in the clasroom

The active participation of the student in the proposed activities is imperative.

Specialized Seminars (SESP).

Based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the whole group theory sessions, students will work on in a practical way and in small groups, all the phases of the nursing methodology. The final result will be the elaboration of a complete nursing care process based on a proposed clinical case.

Specialized seminars are planned to be worked in groups of 20-25 students. Groups will be defined by the subject coordinator at the beginning of the academic year and students will be informed through the subject’s Moodle. 

Attending seminars is mandatory. Non-attendance affects the final mark negatively.

Individualized tutorials.

Specific tutorials can be arranged by contacting the teacher by email.

2) ETICAL BASES OF NURSING (BE):

Theory.

Expository and participative master classes, with the help of audiovisual media and the analysis of documentation and clinical cases.

Specialized Seminars.

In groups, students will expand the knowledge and skills acquired in the theory sessions by carrying out four exercises: Document analysis, scenario analysis, argumentative debates and creation of an individual or collective position regarding bioethical issues.

The seminars are eminently participatory and collaborative.

Individualized tutorials.

Specific tutorials can be arranged by contacting the teacher by email.

The two blocks that make up the subject (Methodological Bases and Ethical Bases) are evaluated independently.

To pass the subject it is necessary to pass each of these blocks with a minimum grade of 5.

1) METHODOGICAL BASES OF NURSING: 65% of the final mark for the subject

Evaluation of the theoretical part: Written evaluation through objective tests (exam).

It represents the 55% of the mark for this block (35% of the final mark for the subject).

Its objective is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of the subject worked in the theoretical sessions and it will be carried out at the end of them. This evaluation will consist of short-answer open questions and/or questions with multiple-choice items (multiple-choice) on the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the course. In the latter case, the questions with multiple response items will contain 4 response options. The errors are subtracted according to the following formula: x= hits-(errors/n-1) where n is the number of answer options.

A minimum grade of 5 is required to be weighed against the rest of the assessment activities in this block.

Evaluation of the Specialized Seminars: Evaluation through practical cases and problem solving: preparation and written delivery

It represents the 45% of the mark for this bolck (30% of the final mark for the subject).

Preparation and written delivery of a Nursing Care Process based on cases proposed in the Seminars.

The evaluation is carried out through rubrics prepared for this purpose and posted in Moodle at the beginning of the seminars.

Attendance at seminars is mandatory. However, the first lack of attendance is NOT penalized. For each added fault there will be a reduction of 1 point from the final grade of the seminars on this blog. If a student misses more than3 seminars, they will be counted as Not Evaluable in the final grade of the seminars on this blog.

A minimum grade of 5 is required to be weighed against the rest of the assessment activities in this block.

2) ETHICAL BASIS OF NURSING: 35% of the final mark for the subject

The Ethical Bases block will be fully evaluated by means of a multiple choice test at the end of the specialized seminars (see date on calendar).

In order to take the evaluation test of the Ethical Bases block, a minimum of two Ethical Bases seminars must have been completed.

The four Ethical Bases seminars are mandatory attendance. The first lack of attendance at an Ethical Basis seminar is not penalized. The second lack of attendance (with or without justification) at an Ethical Bases seminar will subtract 1 point from the Ethical Bases block grade. Accumulating three or four failures to attend the Ethical Bases seminars will lead to the assignment of 'Not Evaluable' in the Ethical Bases block.

A minimum grade of 5 is required to pass this bock.

OBTAINING THE FINAL QUALIFICATION

The final grade of the subject corresponds to the sum of the grade obtained in both blocks with the following weighting:

- 65% Methodological Bases

- 35% Ethical Bases block.

The requirement to carry out this summation is to have obtained a minimum score of 5 points in each block. In the event that the mark of one of the blocks of the subject is less than 5, the final grade of the subject will be failed and the resulting numerical mark will be that corresponding to the failed part as long as it is equal to or greater than 3.5 If it is lower, the numerical mark will be set at 3.5.

Not Evaluable will be understood as a student who has not taken any or any of the evaluation activities (writtenevaluation through objective tests of each block), who does not present the required written work on the PAI and with more absences in the Seminars of those contemplated. Having an Not Evaluable in one of the blocks of the subject will mean an Not Evaluable in the entire subject.

Recovery. Students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment may take a recovery test. To participate in the recovery, students must have beenpreviouslyevaluated in a setof activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirdsof the total grade for the subject (article 112 ter. of the UAB evaluation regulations). The student must appear only in the suspended block. The characteristics of the recovery test are the same as those of the continuous assessment tests. The mark obtained in the recovery test will be the final mark of the recovered part. The option of applying for grade improvement is not contemplated.

The student has the right to review the evaluation tests. For this, the date will be specified on the virtual campus. According to the agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the qualifications will be:

From 0 to 4.9 = Suspense

From 5.0 to 6.9 = Approved

From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable

From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent

When the student does not attend any or none of the planned evaluation activities = No Evaluable.

This subject does not provide the single assessment system.

Irregularities in assessment acts. Any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this assessment act or that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be initiated against the student who incurs any of these irregularities.

Use of AI. For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as proofreading or translations. Students must clearly identify which sections were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the subject grade, or greater penalties in serious cases.
