- A multiple-choice exam, which is worth 60% of the final grade. 60 exam questions with four answer choices and only one being the correct answer. 0.25 points will be deducted for each wrong answer out of a total of 60 points.
- Presentation of a group project, which will count as 30% of the final grade
- Written exam of 2 clinical cases, which will count as 10% of the final grade.
It is necessary to do all 3 sections.
Students must have a minimum grade in each section (greater than or equal to 30% of the maximum grade of the class) in order for that grade to take part in the final average.
Otherwise, the subject will not be passed.
