Theoretical: Interactive lecture supplemented by guided autonomous study. Practical: Observation of microscopic lesions based on digital slides and audiovisual materials with lesion descriptions. Continuous assessment:  A minimum of 9.5 out of 20 points is required to pass. In each practical class, students' interest, work capacity, and participation will be evaluated, contributing a total of 0.8 values per class. In classes 8 and 13, students will present orally the slides studied previously (2-3 slides per student (6 val each). Class 9 will be taught by the students themselves (2.4 values). Theoretical assessment through 2 mini-tests, with equal weighting. A minimum of 9.5 values is required to pass. The final grade for the course unit will be the average of the practical assessment (50%) and the theoretical assessment (50%).
