  Description
Other methodologies Instructional strategies in which students work in small groups on learning activities and are assessed according to the group's productivity, which will include, both in most "theoretical" classes (type A credits) and in Clinical Sessions (type B1 credits); Discussion Groups (1), Problem-Based Learning (ABP or "PBL", for English speakers) (2), Case Method (3), Simulation (4), Brainstorming (5); supported by audiovisual and other materials: (1) Mutual teaching or collective learning, where each member of the group must make specific contributions to apply knowledge, make a decision or evaluate a situation. (2) Selection of a major problem, based on a real or simulated case, and search for solutions by students. (3) Brief description with words and figures of a real case, which usually stops just before the presentation of all the actions taken by the practitioner in real life, thus leaving the student, as the participant, free to choose the actions that would need to be taken, so that the students study the situation, define the problems, reach their own conclusions about the actions to be taken and then discuss the case in a joint session and/or describe and defend their action plan in writing. (4) Simulation exercises for students to make decisions based on a given real situation presented to them. (5) Group technique to generate original ideas in an academic environment. The planning table shows that students should receive a total of 44 hours of classroom teaching (36 “other methodologies” and 8 “master sessions”), of which, as can be deduced from the duration of TYPE B1 CLINICAL PRACTICES (2 hours each of the seven CLINICAL SESSIONS B1. a, B1. b1, B1. b2, B1. b3, B1. b4, B1. b5, B1. b6), if 14 hours correspond to CLINICAL PRACTICES taught in the classroom, the other 30 must necessarily correspond to theoretical. However, if, as has already happened, for some reason the administrative body of the centre plans fewer hours of classroom teaching, we will comply with the timetable imposed by the competent authority, adjusting proportionally the distribution of theoretical hours taught per lecture session and hours taught by other methodologies to the total hours that the authority assigns to classroom teaching of the subject. On the other hand, in the event that, for reasons of any nature, face-to-face teaching is restricted, these Methodologies will be developed using online teaching tools, and if the competent authorities do not provide this university with the means and equipment necessary for remote surgical practice, they will be increased in the number of working hours equivalent to 60% of the hours of clinical practice that cannot be developed.
Clinical practicums Under this heading are included the rest of the CLINICAL PRACTICES (excluding the CLINICAL SESSIONS already described in the section "Other methodologies"), i. e. the regular practice of exposing, discussing and, if necessary, carrying out the entire process of clinical care of the surgical patient, developing to the extent, terms and conditions that allow the clinical infrastructures and superstructures available, the clinical care of the patient from the initial examination to the postoperative and rehabilitation, (exploration, diagnosis). preoperative preparation, surgical techniques and operations and post-operative care and rehabilitation) with groups of students of the size determined by the regulations in force for this type of practice and the distribution decided by the administrative authority of the centre responsible for it, with whom it will resolve (as mentioned above, to the extent that the terms and conditions allow the available clinical infrastructures and superstructures) and discuss each case, with live practice animals, cadavers, anatomical models or teaching materials that may be available. in clinical-surgical facilities available for five academic days, from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. , the same module or group on consecutive days, in March, April and the first half of May, in each of which the corresponding groups of traineeships will be mentioned simultaneously, with two to four teachers working simultaneously, depending on the relevant practice, up to five consecutive traineeships per pupil. In the event that, for any reason, face-to-face teaching is restricted, if the competent authorities do not provide this university with the means and equipment necessary for practical distance teaching in surgery, the teaching hours that should be applied to them will be distributed among other methodologies capable of virtual teaching. (60%), networked lectures (20%) and group or individual mentoring in a network (20% of the hours of this type of traineeship that cannot be carried out).
Personal tuition Tutorials and directed autonomous work: Specialized in-person and online tutorials through the educational support platform (institutional moodle), where the resources and activities of the course, or other virtual teaching applications, will also be contained. Support to the student in content related to the learning of the subject. In the event that, for reasons of any nature, face-to-face teaching is limited, the tutorials will be developed using online teaching tools, and if the competent authorities in the matter do not provide this university with the necessary means and equipment for the practice. remote surgery, will see an increase in the number of work hours equivalent to 20% of the hours of clinical practices that cannot be carried out.
Lecture Participatory Lecture: Verbal presentation, during a defined period of time, of a topic, in a manner a) Classic; dividing the exposition into sections and these into sections and these into specific points that are the main ideas of the exposition around which examples, elaborations, comments and summaries are presented. b) Focused on problems; structured in a statement of the problem, presentation of the various approaches or solutions and an assessment of them with their strengths and weaknesses, with partial summaries of the knowledge that is acquired and finally the final summary of conclusions. c) Sequential; developing a series of statements related to each other and leading to a conclusion. d) Comparative; confronting two or more contents, theories, perspectives, processes, ideas, systems or methods based on different criteria. e) Thesis; beginning with the formulation of an assertion or hypothesis that must be justified with arguments and data and dedicating the class to the demonstration or confirmation of the thesis. The planning table shows that students should receive a total of 44 hours of classroom teaching (36 of “other methodologies” and 8 of “master sessions”), of which, as can be deduced from the duration of the practices type B1 clinics (2 hours each of the seven Clinical Sessions B1.a, B1.b1, B1.b2, B1.b3, B1.b4, B1.b5, B1.b6), if 14 hours correspond to clinical practices that They are taught in the classroom, the other 30 must necessarily correspond to theoretical classes. However, if for any reason the administrative body of the center schedules fewer hours of classroom teaching, as has already happened on several occasions, we will abide by the schedule imposed on us by the competent authority for this purpose, proportionally adapting the distribution of hours. theoretical lessons taught per master session and hours taught by other methodologies to the total hours that said authority assigns to classroom teaching of the subject. On the other hand, in the event that, for reasons of any nature, face-to-face teaching is limited, these master sessions will be developed using online teaching tools, and if the competent authorities in the matter do not provide this university with the means and equipment necessary for remote surgical practice, the number of work hours equivalent to 20% of the hours of clinical practices that cannot be carried out will be increased.

Lecture At the end of the course, there will be a single theoretical examination related to the contents of the curriculum of the course (there will be no partial examinations), which will include 5 to 10 short questions, topics to be developed and/or practical assumptions, in which the use of didactic material or information sources (notes, books, chops, etc. , in any medium, digital or analogue format) will not be allowed, so the exchange of opinions or information between the students who take it will not be allowed. The use of such materials or the exchange of information will result in the automatic suspension of the test, which will be evaluated with a 0 and will remain pending until the next call.
If, for any reason, face-to-face teaching is restricted, and if the competent authorities do not provide the university with the means and equipment necessary for distance surgical practice, the percentage of the total grade for the subject covered by this assessment shall be increased by the same amount as the weighting of the assessment of clinical practice, which must be reduced in the light of the practice which may have been given.
45% of final grade

50%, if it is not possible to continuously evaluate the work done throughout the course in the classroom and in other areas of learning.
90%, if it is not possible to continuously evaluate the work done in the classroom and in other areas of learning, if, for any reason, face-to-face teaching is restricted, and if the competent authorities do not provide this university with the necessary means and equipment for remote surgical practice, necessary for carrying out the corresponding practical examination.
Other methodologies Continuous evaluation of classroom work and participation in proposed telematics activities.
It may include co and self-assessment.
10% of the final grade
Clinical practicums Continuous assessment throughout the traineeships (both B3 and B1), according to the assessment criteria specified.
It may include self- and co-evaluation of teamwork.
45% of the final grade
Others When continuous assessment is not possible due to insufficient attendance at face-to-face sessions on the part of the person to be assessed, a practical test shall replace continuous assessment, assuming that the test shall be 50% of the final grade of the subject, while the theoretical test shall represent the other 50%.
If, for any reason, face-to-face teaching is restricted at the time of the final assessment, and if the competent authorities do not provide this university with the means and equipment necessary for the remote surgical practice necessary for the completion of the aforementioned corresponding practical examination, the grade of the theoretical examination referred to in the preceding paragraph, which must be non-face-to-face, shall be 90% of the grade of those students for whom continuous assessment has not been possible.
If the teacher in charge considers it feasible, those who wish to do so may sign an apprenticeship contract with the teacher in charge of the subject, which will involve a greater incidence of cooperative work and continuous assessment, applicable to all aspects of the learning of the subject, under the terms of the contract.
In the case of an apprenticeship contract, the conditions laid down by the contract
 
Other comments and second call

Those who do not attend at least 80 per cent of the face-to-face internships will be tested, regardless of the reason for the non-attendance (there is therefore no need to justify the reason for the non-attendance, since whatever the reason, if you have not attended, you cannot make an assessment of the work not done

The practical examination shall, in any case, be carried out whenever, at the time of the assessment, it is possible to carry out surgical practice (understood as surgical activity), either in person or at a distance (if the competent authorities provide this university with the necessary means and equipment for the practical examination at a distance).

The final grade of the subject will be the result of the weighted average of the grades obtained in theory and practice, provided that each of the parties has achieved a minimum grade of 3. 5 on a scale of 10.

Need to pass theory and practice separately: YesCompensable from 3. 5 points in theory and 3. 5 points in practice.Both the grades of the continuous assessment and the continuous assessment of the work in the classroom and of the participation in the telematic activities of the subject are kept within the same academic year for all calls referring only to the academic year in question. The remaining qualifications (theoretical examination and practical examination, if applicable) are not retained from one call to the next.CRITERIA FOR CORRECTION:THEORY:Theoretical examination and participation in telematic activities: each student's knowledge and understanding of the subject will be assessed, his/her capacity for critical reasoning, relationship and association of acquired concepts, the mastery of language, the ability to synthesize and the elaboration of the answer with correct surgical and common language.Theoretical exam: the ability of each student to solve the test proposed to him/her individually, with an appropriate use of language and a sufficient knowledge of the language in which he/she expresses it, without the help of sources of information (books, notes, diagrams, "chuletas", etc. , in digital or analog format, as well as verbal information from colleagues). If any form of information is used during the test, it will be automatically failed, being marked with 0 (failed) until the next call.Assessment of active classroom involvement during theory sessions: active participation will be assessed (this may be facilitated by random checklists, asking quick-answer questions or requesting drafts of teamwork developed during the session), particularly in cooperative learning sessions, attitudes (e. g. punctuality and social skills) and skills (e. g. mastery of basic knowledge, prior preparation, critical and reasoning skills, maturity, etc. ) demonstrated in them. It may include self- and co-evaluation.If teachers and students were to enter into an apprenticeship contract, the criteria agreed upon by both parties, which were subscribed to in the apprenticeship contract, would apply.PRACTICE:In type B3 clinical practices, the correct behavior of a clinical-surgical team, their attention, interest, willingness and willingness to work towards the surgical patient, capacity for initiative and criticism, and their attitudes and skills in the surgical clinic, including respect for the patient, colleagues and clinicians, will be assessed.In type B1 clinical practices, teamwork skills, as well as active participation in them, acquisition (preparation and understanding) of the prior knowledge necessary for the active use of these clinical sessions, willingness to learn, ability to express, ability to synthesize, critical ability, attitude and skills for work, and social skills will be assessed. It may include self- and co-evaluation.The degree of learning achieved by each student will be expressed in numerical grade, as established by the mandatory regulations of the University of León, which currently follows a scale from 0 to 10, with a decimal, to which is attached their corresponding qualitative grade (Matriculo Honour, Outstanding, Notable, Passed or Fail).

Other comments
The learning of any subject consists of the learner building up new knowledge by using, as bricks or pillars, the previous knowledge available to the learner, so, of course, at the university level, as elsewhere, prior knowledge is always needed to begin the study of any subject. In the case of the Surgical Clinic, since it is only "the ultimate therapy that is set in motion to solve specific pathological problems or to modify the morphological, physiological or productive characteristics of the patient", it is obvious that, in order to undertake its study, it is essential to know first the potential patient in its broadest sense, then the possible diseases that can be treated surgically and the sick patient himself, as well as the means at our disposal to investigate the disease in the patient and to treat it, particularly drugs. But also, since veterinary surgery applies not only to sick animals, it will be necessary, in order to understand the surgical procedures to be performed and to deal with them properly, to have knowledge about the production that can be expected of each animal and the possible consequences that the planned intervention may have on it. . . To give a simple example, it would be absurd to pretend to learn not to do it, but to make the decision to perform a cesarean section (and how to do it) before knowing the mechanism of delivery. learn to identify it and understand the consequences that the intervention could have on the future reproductive ability of the female. In summary, in order to understand and learn veterinary surgery in general, let alone the one applied to specific processes or to specific animals, it is essential to apply in the learning the knowledge already acquired by the student in the following subjects, particularly: Anatomy, Physiology, Nosology, Pharmacology, Clinical Propaedeutics, Surgical Pathology, Anesthesiology, Imaging, Reproduction, Obstetrics, Ethnology, Ethology, Microbiology, Immunology, Pathological Anatomy, Histopathology, Medicine, Parasitology, Toxicology, Deontology, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Animal Production, Hygiene, Agricultural Economics, Management, Animal Husbandry, Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Parasitic Diseases. . . Likewise, it is necessary that those who want to learn Veterinary Surgery, in general, already handle knowledge of: Cytology and Histology, Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry, Biochemistry, Agronomy and Genetics. A critical analysis of the results of the learning of this subject in recent years, supported also by surveys and assessments of the previous knowledge of the students who come to enrol in it, reveals that the serious lack of basic knowledge of the basic subjects that should precede the study of the Surgical Clinic seems to be responsible for the difficulty of successful learning of the Surgical Clinic.
