Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The curricular unit contributes to the knowledge and comprehension of the deglutition disorders, its criteria of diagnosis and paradigms of intervention, in a case-based learning model. It allows the students to make an specific application to each case under study, evaluation techniques and intervention acquired in the curricular units of Instruments and Techniques. The contents that deal with differential diagnosis and intervention planning respond to analytical and synthetic level objectives.

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

In order to respond to learning objectives focused on knowledge, understanding and application, we use dialogic expository classes, case studies and simulated practice.
Performing written tests / tests allows the student to evaluate their knowledge, understanding and analysis of key contents related to deglutition disorders. The accomplishment of a group work allows the student to appropriate the theoretical knowledge and to consolidate them in the interaction between pairs and in their process of autonomy.
