Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The integrated and progressive approach to the study plan will enable students to develop the knowledge,
skills and competences set out the objectives, ensuring consistency between the syllabus. In all syllabus
to address the student should use clinical terms used in laboratory tests and interpret the results of the
analytical tests.

Teaching methodologies

Expositive, demonstrative, participative and problem solving.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The teaching methodologies proposals aim to meet the defined learning objectives. The typology classes
adopted aims to provide students the knowledge and tools needed to, together with its independent work,
allow the interpretation of results of laboratory tests and applying clinical terms. It will be encouraged to
carry out individual research or group as an important contribution to achieving the objectives set for the
curricular unit.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The unit can be effected by: (a) continuous
evaluation, ongoing at the school and that results in the exemption examination period, if the final grade is
equal to or higher than 10, and assuming the formative and summative dimensions; (b) exam, which takes
the summative dimension. The assessment is made by two written tests, each one accounting for 50% and
with 9,5 values of mínimal classification.
The classification of all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value
of the marks obtained must be equal or greater than 10. The exam consists in a written test, in which the
approval will require a rating equal to or higher than 10.
