Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies will be through theoretical-practical classes of the expository, interrogative and demonstrative type using study/clinical cases. It will also involve the student's active participation in the teaching-learning process: research, critical evaluation, treatment and transmission of scientific information on topics relevant to the curricular unit, with an impact on clinical nutrition. The evaluation of the curricular unit will consist of carrying out a written theoretical test and the presentation of a clinical case resulting in the final grade being the arithmetic average of the two components. Students will be approved with a grade higher than 9.5 (considering both components). The improvement of the classification will occur by carrying out an exam during the appeal period.
