some aspects involving knowledge from the forefront of your field of study
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the
competencies that are often demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and problem solving within
your study area
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study)
to make judgments that include a reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience
specialized

PRESENTIAL
23 hours of classroom teaching (3 hours per week)
Blackboard class in large group: Lesson given by the teacher that can have different formats (theory, problems and / or general examples, general guidelines of the subject, ...). The teacher can count on the support of audiovisual and computer media. Workshops with resolution in virtual campus. Public exhibitions and play-roll developments, flipped classroom
Clinical practice in a very small group: This includes the realization of practicals in modules of 2 students per group, keeping all the hygienic and sanitary measures that requires. With support from Teams and Moodle
Clinical practice includes participation in screening online.
Custom tutorials through Teams.
the practices will continue their normal development in person in very small groups.
EVALUATION OF THEORETICAL CONTENTS AND SEMINARS
1.- Theoretical part (expository classes and student work) 5 points
* Continuous assessment of work done by students (research work on any of the topics proposed by the subject's teaching staff) 2 points.
* Evaluation by holistic competency rubric
* Exam test knowledge matter 1 point
* 1 point for attendance
2.-Practical part (online and face-to-face clinic) 5 points,
* 2 points, for online visual health screening work in the elderly population (general questionnaire – FVSQ questionnaire) through Forms-Moodle (student-teacher feedback). Evaluation by rubric. The non-completion of this phase, does not allow face-to-face clinical practice.
* preparing informative material on visual health based on online screening data. Evaluation by rubric
* 3 points, for face-to-face clinical work (2.5 points practical work + 0.5 points optometric report) in foundations-organizations-elderly residences in our community. Evaluation by analytical rubric of clinical competencies.
Attendance and completion of the practical part of the subject is mandatory.
The lack of practical sessions without justifying, will force the realization of practical exam.
The total hours of personal work of the student are 75 hours, distributed as follows:
Autonomous individual or group study: 46 h.
Writing exercises, conclusions or other works: 5 h.
Programming, experimentation or other computer / laboratory work: 8 h.
Recommended readings, activities in the library or similar: 8 h.
Preparation of oral presentations, debates or similar: 8 h.
Para poder integrar adecuadamente los conceptos impartidos en Optometría IV, es
especialmente recomendable que el alumno conozca, comprenda y sepra desarrollar los conceptos explicados en
las asignaturas Fundamentos de Optometría, Optometría I, Optometría II y Optometría III, así
como sus relaciones con el resto de las materias.
