The teaching methodology will be mixed.

Theory (TE)

Planned sessions with the whole group. Different teaching strategies will be used: lectures given by the teacher with practical exercises and reflection.

Seminars (SEM)

They will be carried out in small groups of stable students during all sessions (approximately 4-5 students) in person and guided by a tutor.

Four situations/problems linked to the contents of the subject will be worked on that will allow students to acquire skills to analyse problems, prioritise and search for information, make decisions and evaluate their activity.

Each situation will be worked on in 5 face-to-face hours in class divided into two sessions:

• In the first work session (3 hours):
• The general situation/problem will be presented and each subgroup will work on a different aspect of the health problem.
• The subgroups will work autonomously and will propose an analysis and list of questions about the situation, work plan and sources of information.
• Documents that answer the questions and support the latest evidence on the situation/problem (clinical practice guidelines, research articles, etc.) will be selected.
• The teaching staff will supervise the work in general and in each group, resolving doubts and making suggestions.
• Each group will prepare a summary with the main concepts and present the documents with the most current evidence.
• In the second evaluation session (2 hours):
• The work prepared will be presented in class with audiovisual supportand this presentation will be delivered in Moodle as evidence of the work done. They will answer questions posed by the teaching staff and the rest of the students.

Tutorials can be arranged with the coordinator in charge by contacting previously by email.

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any of its phases. Any work that includes fragments generated with AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

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.

This subject does not consider single assessment.

The evaluation of the subject includes 3 evaluation moments with 2 different evaluation methods with the following weighting:

• Individual evaluation. 60% of the final grade will be obtained from the average of the individual evaluation of the written assessment through two objective tests to assess the acquisition of knowledge from the theoretical sessions of the subject. There will be two midterm tests with multiple-choice questions with 4 answer options, of which only one is the correct answer). Blank answers do not deduct points and each wrong answer will deduct 0.33 points. The contents of the subject are organized in two blocks and at the end of each block the corresponding midterm test will be taken. The dates of the two tests have been included in the subject calendar:
• Midterm Exam 1: weight of 30% of the final grade of the subject (October 2026).
• Midterm Exam 2: weight of 30% of the final grade of the subject (January 2027).
• Group evaluation. 40% of the final grade will be obtained from the average of the evaluation of the group work of the 4 situations to be worked on in the specialized seminars. An evaluation rubric will be used with criteria related to the quality of the presentation, the sources of information used and the evidence provided in each situation/problem to be worked on.

Obtaining the final grade:

The overall grade for the course is obtained from the sum of the weighted scores of the different evaluation items (individual and group).

To pass the subject, the mark of the individual evaluation through objective tests to assess the acquisition of knowledge of the subject must be equal to or greater than 5 points, on a scale of 1 to 10.

Students will be considered NOT ASSESSED if they do not complete the individual knowledge assessment tests and do not participate in the 4 presentation sessions of the specialized seminar work, thereby forfeiting their enrollment rights for the course.

According to the evaluation regulations, grades will be:

• 0 to 4.9 = Suspense
• 5.0 to 6.9 = Pass
• From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
• From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent

The student has the right to review the evaluation tests, for this the date will be specified on the virtual campus.

Retake exam

Students who do not pass the subject thorough continuous evaluation may take a retake test scheduled for this purpose in the exams calendar provided. The condition to be able to do the retake exam is:

• Have previously participated in assessment activities, the weight of which is equivalent to two thirds (66%) of the total grade of the subject (according to the UAB Assessment Regulations).

• To have obtained a minimum grade in the average of the subject of 3.5 points out of 10.

The retake test will include the same content as the assessment test not previously passed (Individual assessment: midterm test 1 or midterm test 2; Group evaluation: situations/problems worked on in the specialized seminars).

The option of taking this retake test to improve the grade obtained is not contemplated.

Irregularities in an assessment activity

Any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic misconduct, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is explicitly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant change in the grade will result in a score of 0 for that activity. If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in this activity is essential to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. Additionally, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against the student in such cases.
