The teaching methodology is based on theoretical classes where course contents are presented using media projection. During these lectures, students will be actively questioned to stimulate their participation and reflection on the contents taught. The contents will be deepened with the consultation of scientific articles and case studies in both theoretical-practical classes and homework. At key points of the subject, we can choose to solve questionnaires/worksheets during the class and/or autonomous study time, aiming to consolidate previously covered contents. Anatomical models will be studied in practical classes to improve the knowledge of human anatomy.
Support materials for students will be progressively made available through the Moodle platform of the University of the Azores.
