Neurophysiology and Functional Anatomy

Métodos de ensino

The teaching methodologies will include expository classes, debates of the topics presented, study case discussions, critical analysis of texts or scientific papers and problem-solving tasks in the class. The evaluation includes 2 theoretical tests with equal weighting for the final grade of the course.
