The course consists of an introduction to the use of methodological resources for research, understanding and organization of information in Health Sciences.

(bibliography, documentation, references, citations, etc.).

This course aims to provide students with tools that optimize the learning process in academia.

The organization of the study, the work methodology, the cognitive strategies and the improvement of the communicative abilities are the base to optimize the integration of the student in the university world. For this reason, from the beginning, the student is provided with the resources that will be necessary in the development of his academic career.

With regard to the training activities and the methodology used in them, the following table summarizes them, including the credits assigned to each of the activities and the competencies that are worked on in them. The aim of this combination of activities is for the student to play an active role in their educational cycle and to interact with the rest of their classmates through cooperative learning activities, encouraging critical thinking.

The evaluation of the generic and specific competences will be carried out continuously with the following activities:

The quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative qualification system (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honors registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003

• The student who does not attend a seminar will obtain, in this case, a mark of 0, except for justified absence. The reason for the absence will be assessed to decide whether the grade is retained or left unqualified.
• The final work must be posted in the virtual classroom, individually, on the set date. In case of not delivering it, the grade will be 0. No deliveries will be accepted by any other means. 
• In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5, both in the continuous assessment and in the final exam. 
• Seminars and the oral test are not recoverable.

Recovery

The recovery will be carried out with an examination with the same structure and weighting as that carried out in the 1st call.

Of the part of continuous evaluation, will only be able to recover the written memory, having to carry out an individual work, of similar characteristics to the 1st announcement.

According to UPF regulations, students will have the option of retrieving subjects that have obtained the qualification of 'suspended', which are the only ones that can be modified in the recovery process.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason
