Competences of the degree to which the subject contributes:
o Become aware of how the health administration works.
o Design and analyze epidemiological studies
Specific competences of the subject:
o Acquire knowledge with health planning and programming tools
o Acquire knowledge about the most common methods for determining priorities.
o Acquire skills in program development methods
o Be able to apply the epidemiological methodology to the evaluation of interventions
The module will begin with an initial face-to-face class that will take place on the scheduled date in the academic calendar. To teach the subject, once the initial meeting has been held, different distance teaching techniques will be used through the tools provided by the Moodle platform (lesson, discussion forums, tasks, etc.). Special use will be made of those that favor discussion and collaborative work. The subject will be taught asynchronously even though face-to-face sessions can be held to clarify doubts if the teacher considers it appropriate.
Tutorials may be face-to-face or virtual.
The evaluation system is based on continuous assessment and will combine the various continuous evaluation methods enabled by virtual teaching. Monitoring of assignments, participation in forums, glossary, and lessons will be used to assess the acquisition of competencies by the students and will contribute to the final grade. Students who do not pass the course on the first attempt must complete new assignments or take an exam on the second attempt.
The students will dedícate a mínimum of 51 hours to the study of the topics presented in the modula and to the completion of tasks of both individual and group work
The preparation of the subject does not present special difficulties.
Participation in tasks of a collaborative nature will be especially taken into account, so students must make an effort to be present from the first moment in the forums and other group work spaces. The evaluation of their presence in the tasks will be done taking into account both quantitative aspects (number of interventions) and qualitative aspects (quality of the contributions to the group's work).
Students with Specific Needs
For supporting students with specific educational needs, the provisions established in the Protocol for attention to persons with disabilities (Integration Area of the Participation and University Integration Service of USC) will be considered. Appropriate methodological and/or curricular adaptations will be made to meet the educational needs of these students.
