TEACHING METHODOLOGY
.Large group whiteboard: Lesson given by the teacher that may have different formats (theory, problems and /
Or general examples, general guidelines of the subject, ...). The teacher can be supported by audiovisual media and
But in general, students do not need to handle them in class.
Laboratory / Clinic classes in small group: This includes the execution of laboratory practices in modules of 5/2
Students by group. The student should prepare the development of the practice with the help of the teacher and / or student tutors, perform the
Measures and the corresponding analysis of data. Evaluation tests, if any, are also included.
Tutorials in very small groups
Evaluation:
1) Theoretical part.
Continuous evaluation of the student's work in the expository classes: 3 points. It will be assessed through a competency rubric.
Evaluation of presentation and defense of research work (in groups) on the subject (current themes of the hearing aid): 4 points. It will be evaluated by a rubric.
2) The activity corresponding to the interactive laboratory hours will take place within a service-learning project. This part will have a value of 3 points.
it´s necessary to cover a total of 10 hours of theoretical estuio to understand the matter, and 5-8-hour visit to specialized web pages
positive attitude knowledge of new technologies.
