Teaching is distributed in teaching hours in traditional lectures and seminars that encourage
student participation through the presentation, discussion and resolution of various issues raised.
Evaluation system:
- Final Exam: Carries a weighted value of 80% of the final grade (derived from lectures and seminars).
- Active participation in class and seminars (20% of the grade): Marks are awarded for informed contributions, as well as a controlled following of the compulsory activities proposed in the Seminar sessions and in the pressential lecutres.
To pass it is required to reach 50% of the exam mark and achieve a total score of 5 out of 10.
Students who have not completed the continuous evaluation (active participation) can also do the final exam, but they need to get a 5 out of 8 on the final objective exam to pass and the maximum grade they can reach is an 8.
In the event that the student does not perform the final exam, their qualification will be NOT PRESENTED.
An additional exam may be done to award the Honor grade.

Difficulties arise primarily from the language used in legal matters, which may be completely novel and different..
Students should work from notes taken in classes and seminars and find relationships with other subjects.
It is highly recommended to analyze situations that are experienced in hospital practices using the knowledge acquired during the course to observe from a different perspective to that of health care.
