Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
There are several teaching methodologies used in this Curricular Unit. Given the character of this UC, the teaching methodology for the presentation of the contents is expository supported by the use of slides. Student participation in class is promoted through interrogative teaching methodologies that also promote dialog and debate among students. The active methodology is reflected in the development of application exercises, enabling the acquisition of basic knowledge inherent to Clinical and Health Psychology. The hybrid methodology is present in the use of moodle for the distribution of materials, as well as the promotion of online research tasks that constitute activities in which technology is used in the acquisition of knowledge. In addition, tutoring activities are planned to carry out the students' assessment work.
