The training activities to be carried out during the delivery of the micro-credential will be:
- Theoretical classes: expository, explanatory or demonstration sessions of the contents and knowledge.
- Practical classes: sessions of practical application of the content developed in the theoretical classes, through the resolution of exercises, problems or theoretical-practical scenarios.
- Independent work: independent and self-regulated activity of the student based on the documentation and guidelines proposed in the subject, preparation of classes and exams, preparation of final reports, internship reports…
Regarding the way to organize the teaching to achieve the objectives set out in the micro-credential, the organizational methods summarized below will be followed:
- Lectures/expository method: presentation or explanation by the
faculty. - Practical classes: activities supervised by the teaching staff in the classroom, laboratories,
clinics. - Seminars: completing exercises, solving problems or practical cases, others.
- Individual work: individual preparation of assignments/projects/reports, portfolio
The microcredential will have an evaluation system (ES) based on the following assessment tests:
- Case studies, exercises and problems: tests in which participants must solve, in a reasoned manner, within a certain time, and according to the established criteria, the cases, exercises or problems posed by the teaching staff, with the aim of applying the knowledge acquired.
- Attendance, participation or attitude in teaching activities, seminars, tutorials, etc.: monitoring student attendance and participation in teaching activities, carrying out activities during teaching sessions.
