Lectures: The teaching staff will explain the theoretical-practical concepts of the content, relying on multimedia presentations. Some typical problems will also be studied, so that students can solve exercises on their own later. Regarding the material for the follow-up of the subject, students over the recommended bibliography will have the complementary teaching material of compulsory consultation.
Interactive teaching: Exercises will be done with real cases to develop the concepts pointed out in the expository classes. During these intercative classes, presentations of student work will be made.
Tutorials: they are intended to solve the doubts of the students about the subject.
Continuous assessment (30%): the continuous assessment will be carried out based on exercises proposed by the teaching staff and / or the presentation of work in class, generally in pairs. These tasks are mandatory. For these activities to be included in the final evaluation and for the student to have the right to sit for the final exam, they must attend at least 75% of both expository and interactive classes. For the control of attendance, the teaching staff will register the students through a list of signatures.
Final exam (70%): will consist of solving practical or theoretical questions about the content of the subject, generally by means of a test or short questions. The weight of the continuous evaluation in the extraordinary opportunity of recovery (July tests) will be the same as in the ordinary session, the student must have fulfilled all the requirements for the presence and presentation of exercises and work as for the ordinary session.
Repetitive student evaluation system: the same evaluation regime as the ordinary student.
In cases of fraudulent conduct in exercises and exams, the "Student Assessment and Qualification Review Standards" of the USC will apply.
The individual learning hour volume is approximately 100 hours.
It is essential that the student does not accumulate delay in individual learning, especially in the more mathematical parts of the subject (demography and epidemiology) since the concepts are related to each other.
In accordance with article 9.2.a of the USC Student Statute and article 36 of the Organic Law of the University System, the use of electronic devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.) is not authorized in the lectures and seminars except when expressly authorized by the professor.
