This Guide describes the framework, contents, methodology and general rules of the subject, in accordance with the current curriculum. The final organization of the course with respect to the number and size of groups, calendar distribution and dates of examinations, specific criteria for evaluation and review of examinations will be carried out in each of the Teaching Hospital Units (HTU), which will explain to the students through their web pages and the first day of class of each subject, through the teachers responsible for the subject in the HTU.

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, practical 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.

For this course, the professors designated by the Departments as responsible for the subject at Faculty and UDH level are:

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 course does not allow for a single-assessment evaluation system.

The evaluation system is based on a theoretical component (70% of the final grade) and an evaluation of seminars and advanced simulation practices (30% of the final grade).

Theoretical Component (70%)

Two partial theoretical exams will be scheduled, which will be eliminatory if a grade higher than 5 is obtained in each. The weight of each partial exam in the final grade will be proportional to the covered material and will not exceed 50% of the final grade.

Students who have not passed the partial exams can take the final recovery exam.

Evaluation of Seminars and Advanced Simulation Practices (30%)

Evaluation of seminars (20%), including questions from the seminars or a clinical case presentation, and advanced simulation practices (10%).

Final Grade

The final grade is the weighted average of the theoretical knowledge assessment —70%— and the continuous assessment —30%—. The weighted average between the theoretical assessment and the continuous assessment will not be calculated unless a minimum score of 5/10 is obtained in both parts.

Continuous assessment is based on ongoing work and participation in the activities carried out throughout the course, including those proposed in lectures, seminars and simulation-based practical sessions.

For this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic searches or information retrieval. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using these technologies, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how they have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to disclose the use of AI in any assessable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade for the activity, as well as more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Students who do not take both the theoretical and practical evaluation tests will be considered \"Not Assessable,\" thus exhausting their enrollment rights for the course.

*Any irregularity committed in an assessment activity —including academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course guide— that may lead to a significant change in the grade will result in that assessment activity being graded as 0. If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is an essential requirement to pass the course, or if several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.*
