ELABORATION AND EXHIBITION OF TOPICS FOR BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW.
The students, in groups of three or four, self-chosen by affinity between them, will elaborate a topic related to Pediatric Dentistry. A pdf manuscript will be delivered and a presentation of approximately 20 minutes will be made during the second semester following a previously established calendar. Although the subject is freely chosen, it is recommended to consult with teachers regarding the chosen subject. The detailed regulations that regulate this work will be available in the Virtual Classroom.

The following describes the teaching methodology set forth in “Scenario 1. Normality adapted” of the document “Guidelines for or Development of Safe Face-to-Face Teaching for the course 2020-2021”
Virtual classroom
Through it documents, guidelines, regulations, tasks that affect the subject will be provided. It is recommended that students periodically access it in case there is any content that may have gone unnoticed. Its use will intensify more depending on the scenario in which the teaching takes place.
Expository Teaching (Theoretical Contents)
They will be taught in Classroom 3 keeping the distance and / or protection measures (masks) in force at all times.
Expository teaching will be taught from 11 to 12 to all students.
Seminars
They will be taught from 9 to 10:30 and from 12 to 13:30, dividing the class into 2 seminar groups. They will start from the third week of the course since it is necessary to have a series of previous knowledge to better understand the activities to be carried out in the seminars and which are acquired with the expository lessons. The Practice Booklet (available from the Medical reprography service) provides a summary of the seminar, the graphic materials to be used and the seminar data collection sheet according to the seminar.
Preclinical and clinical practices
They will serve for the student to develop skills and abilities related to the contents of the subject. They will take place in the Clinical Simulation Classroom and in the Clinical Boxes on the first and second floors according to practice. The practices begin once the seminars are finished at the same time. As with the seminars, in the Practice Book you will find a summary of the practice and the graphic materials to use. It also provides information on the instruments necessary for each practice.
Bibliographic Review Work
It will be prepared in groups of three or four students following the structure of a scientific publication (Introduction, Objective, Methodology, Results, Discussion and Conclusions). Subsequently, there will be an oral presentation of the work before the teachers and the rest of the students in the classroom, assisted by audiovisual means.
Tutoring
The schedule established for the tutorials is on Fridays from 16 to 21. Preferably they will be carried out face-to-face, unless deemed appropriate and by mutual agreement between the teacher and the student, to be done online (through the TEAMS platform). It is necessary that the students previously request the tutoring through the institutional mail or the Virtual Classroom to set an appointment for the tutoring. Those students who do not regularly use USC mail must have it diverted to their usual mailbox since USC mail is the official means of communication with students. Students can request tutoring regarding any of the aspects of the subject: theoretical, practical content, scientific work, etc.
Modifications of the Teaching Methodology in scenarios 2 and 3 are detailed in the Contingency Plan (Observations section).
SEMINARS
Attendance, participation and active use of previously imparted knowledge is evaluated. Some seminars have a specific data collection sheet (Practice Notebook) that students must submit upon completion.
PRACTICES
They are evaluated using an evaluation rubric or matrix. This rubric is made available to students in the virtual classroom before the start of these so that they are aware of the aspects that are part of the evaluation. Among other aspects, the rubric evaluates:
1. Punctuality
2. Active participation
3. Instrumental
4. Knowledge of the practice to be carried out
5. Dexterity
6. Order and cleanliness with which you perform the exercises
7. Efficiency and effectiveness achieved
8. Assessment of work delivered
BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW WORK
It will be evaluated in two independent aspects. On the one hand, the preparation of the manuscript in which the different sections will be taken into account and the follow-up of the guidelines indicated for its preparation (available in the Virtual Classroom). On the other hand, its presentation is evaluated. Both aspects are weighted at 50%.
CALCULATION OF THE FINAL NOTE OF THE SUBJECT
It will be the result of weighing the theoretical exam (40%) and the practical part (60%). The latter is subdivided into: seminars (20%), practices (25%) and bibliographic review work (15%).
The modifications to the Learning Assessment System in scenarios 2 and 3 are detailed in the Contingency Plan (Observations section).

CONTINGENCY PLAN.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY ON STAGE 2. DISTANCE
Expository teaching, seminars and practices. Depending on the severity of Scenario 2, it may not be necessary to modify the groups since they are small. If a reduction in capacity has to be applied (Room 3, Clinical Simulation Room or boxes), half of the class would be divided into two groups so that ¼ of the class will carry out the practices / seminar while the other ¼ would receive expository teaching. By mid-morning the same strategy would be carried out with the other half of the class.
Bibliographic review work. Its realization will not be affected because access to the content necessary for its realization will be provided by the USC.
Tutorials. They may continue to be face-to-face, but depending on the limitations of capacity and other considerations of a sanitary nature, virtual tutorials will take center stage through Teams. Tutoring must be requested from the teachers using the method previously described in Scenario 1. They will maintain the scheduled hours for them.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY IN STAGE 3
Expository teaching and seminars. It will be taught virtually synchronously through the TEAMS platform at the usual time of the subject. For those students who may have connection problems, the contents of the classes or seminars will be provided in podcast, narrated powerpoint or pdf format through the Virtual Classroom. Those seminars that involve completing tasks, instead of being delivered in physical format, will be scheduled and delivered through the Virtual Classroom.
Practices. It is impossible to do them by virtual means. To alleviate the non-performance, clinical case sessions and clinical simulation situations will be carried out that reproduce the greatest number of aspects to be developed in the practices.
Bibliographic review work. Its realization will not be affected because access to the content necessary for its realization will be provided by the USC.
Tutoring. In this scenario they will be exclusively virtual. The tutoring must be requested from the teaching staff by the method previously described in Scenario 1. The schedules established for them will be maintained.
