Priority is given to the use of active methodologies (“inverted classroom”, “learning by doing”, “problem-based learning” etc.) in combination with traditional teaching. The formative assessment is carried out at various times during the classes, through applications such as "mentimeter", "whiteboard", "socrative" which allows continuous diagnosis of students' needs, for better guidance. Discussion of exercises is promoted. For the "inverted classroom" videos are available on the "educast" platform (Veterinary Anatomy https://educast.fccn.pt/vod/channels/1c2yq1rahy?locale=pt) for consultation inside and outside the classroom. Use of various types of alternative resources to the traditional teaching of anatomy, namely models, plastic sheets, software, virtual atlas and a virtual dissection table.
