Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
One day a week for a master class and another for a mixed theoretical and practical class have been determined, in which the contents of the master class can be outlined and exercises and applications can be carried out in relation to the same contents. The practices and exercises associated with each topic are carried out based on the configuration of a series of examples and clinical cases on which the teacher proposes the corresponding activities, and which involve the practical development of the theoretical content taught in the face-to-face and theoretical class of the same week.
