The lectures will be delivered with distance learning (video lessons and / or streaming) with integration in the presence, where the epidemiological conditions linked to the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection allow it.
Focus groups will also be carried out in presence and also in streaming mode for the benefit of students who are unable to participate in teaching or curricular activities in presence and furthermore these activities will be modulated according to the epidemiological conditions linked to the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Learning assessment procedures
- GASTROENTEROLOGY
Oral exam: 2 questions, 10-15 min and the evaluation is based on the consistence of the answers, as well as on the exposition clearness. To pass this test it is required to get at least 18 points out of 30.
NEPHROLOGY
Multiple choice written test: 30 closed-answer questions, with 4-5 possible responses each (one only right response), with a score definition of 1 point for each correct response, 0 point for each ungiven response or each wrong response. Positive test: equal or higher than 18/30. Allowed time: 45 minutes.
APPLIED DIETETICS II
The learning tests will be carried out in the presence orally, where the epidemiological conditions related to the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection allow it.
THE FINAL GRADE IS A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE MARKS OBTAINED IN EACH TESTS. Reference texts
