The attached table shows the relationship between ECTS and workload in hours of learning based on different methodologies to be used in Care Management. The course is developed through theoretical sessions (lectures), practical sessions, and guided and autonomous virtual learning.
In this course , everyone's ECTS are equivalent to 10 hours in which the professor has a classroom role. This teaching load can be made through Master Class where the professor will present the main ideas and encourage participation and discourse. The content of the lectures will consist of the main topics and concepts of the units which are detailed in the course syllabus. Methodology cases and exercises will be used in the practical classes among peers and where the student will be accompanied in the learning process, being guided and advised at all times.
The rest of the hours of 15h to 25h to 1 ECTS, are distributed:
In autonomous work, the student will learn to solve problems on their own with the reinforcement of the given material and information received in the lectures. There will be hours spent searching for information, development of work and individual study, all to achieve the desired knowledge.
Methods of teaching / learning in mixed modality
Management Care course will develop a method of teaching / learning combined with the intent to promote, monitor and evaluate a continuous and participatory learning of students with the use of hours of active work during classes and also with the use of ICT in virtual classes.
During these classes the student will complete 54% of lectures and 46% of active classes. From the 46%, 23% will be in class and 23% in the virtual classroom with ICT. The participatory methodologies class which represents 23% will be distributed as follows: 4% case method and class discussion after critical reading, 19% (for synthesis and peer learning).From the 23%, 2% will be done through virtual questionnaires.
The reason for this mixed approach is to combine the presentation and explanation of all issues by the professor, but at the same time the students have the opportunity to delve into the same course by methodologies that help them internalize and endorse the content.
In order to develop this method, it is necessary to emphasize that there will be some challenges faced by both the professor and the student since both will have to incorporate into work schedules, not only the hours and scheduled face time, but also space for virtual working hours.Of course, the virtual work will not have an exact time to be done, but the student and professor may recommend a specific time (which may vary according to contingencies that may arise). Also, students will have to present their work within a maximum period of one week, as will be seen in the schedule.

The course will be evaluated during the semester by continuous assessment systems with a percentage of 60% and a final exam worth 40%. The continuous assessment will have:
General evaluation criteria
The Midterm exam and final exam questions will be multiple choice response and / or short answer questions. It will be necessary to pass the final exam with a 5.
First Resit
The course will be evaluated with a final exam worth 60% and the mark of the continuous assessment will be a percentage of 40% since the midterm will not be considered. The 40% of continuous assessment will allow:
The final mark for the course will be the result of applying the averages of the course.
Honors qualifications will not be awarded during retakes.
2nd and 3rd Resits
The 2nd and 3rd resits will have the same type of evaluation in the examination and 1st resit and in no case will partial marks or any kind of assessment of a course be applied to these resits.
Evaluation scheme
Continuous assessment will be conducted and marks will be continuously placed on intranet so that students can see their progression of learning. The questionnaires will give feedback with the right answers so that students can learn and assess themselves at the same time. The midterm exam will be corrected in class to facilitate learning and of course, students can perform a review of examination.
RULES GOVERNING THE COURSE
Attendance and participation
Although attendance is not compulsory, it is important to attend those days where class work, especially synthesis of the topics are explained. It will be difficult for students to pass the course if they do not attend class. In addition, this synthesis of topics is part of the evaluation and because of this, if students don not attend they will fail the assessment part of the section.
Testing and assessment activities
Each year the test dates are written (see annual schedule)
Reference to key elements of the institutional calendar
It is important to comply with the schedule attached to keep pace with classes (schedule attached)
