PARTIAL EXAM II
5. METHODOLOGICAL STRATEGIES
In theory, the following strategies will be applied:
- Conferences with interrogation
- Information sessions
- Mandatory bibliographic reading, prior to classes
- Presentation of problematic situations, related to the topic, in order to gradually
stimulate the development of the student's reasoning.
- Group dynamics, question and answer methods
- Teamwork, brainstorming and conclusions
- Inductive method and discussion
- Reading analysis.
In Practice, for the student to achieve the development of the required competencies, the
most used teaching techniques are:
- Nursing rounds
- Presentation, dialogue and group discussion of content assigned by the teacher.
- Bibliographic research
- Group discussion of the basic care offered to the selected patient
- Application of interview techniques, communication and educational talks aimed at
patients and family members.
- Presentation of Cases of low-risk patients, attended by the student, in the satisfaction
of basic needs based on the PAE, among others.

6. RESOURCE
The teaching resources to be used are: visual, auditory and audiovisual. The materials
and equipment that contribute to the achievement of the active methodology are: texts,
handouts, procedure guides, flipcharts, laboratory environment and material available at
the University, multimedia equipment, overhead projector, laptop, TV-DVD.

7. ASSESSMENT
The evaluation of the subject is done according to the following modalities: Diagnostic
Evaluation :
It evaluates whether they know, analyze, understand, relate and express well the
Thematic content programmed for each learning unit and is carried out through written
questionnaires, observation, self-assessment, laboratories and verifies what the student
brings from previous knowledge acquired in correlated contents.
Formative Evaluation :
Evaluates cognitive competencies, skills and attitudes such as: responsibility, interest
honesty, punctuality, teamwork, order,
discipline, competitiveness, through teacher observation, personal and/or team
evaluation and self-evaluation, throughout the teaching-learning process of the subject.
Summative evaluation :
Evaluates the capacity for information, interpretation, analysis and synthesis, diagnosis,
direct care and treatment of patients, through written exams, reports, assigned work and
presentation, among others.
1. Summative evaluation is a permanent, flexible and comprehensive process and is
applied during the teaching-learning process. Includes evaluation of conceptual,
procedural and attitudinal content
2. In the subject, the conceptual evaluation (theory) includes the written exam, which
consists of 02 partial exams, plus laboratory notes, seminars, interventions in classes and
oral exams, group work, presentation/discussion.
3. The procedural (practical) evaluation refers to the development of procedures, skill,
dexterity, direct care and monitoring of patients, among others, that is evident in hospital
practice, which will be conducted and evaluated by the teacher through individualized
control of the student.
4. The attitudinal evaluation is based on the observation of the student's behavior,
responsibility, respect, initiative, punctuality, professional ethics, interest in self-
learning, etc.; both in theory and in practice.
5. The evaluation is comprehensive and permanent and tends to develop the
organizational, dynamic and critical capacity of the students.
6. Due to the nature of the professional subject, the modalities of the evaluation system
in Theory and Practice are:
In Theory: average of 02 scheduled written exams, note that you must achieve a
minimum of 11 points, to be able to average with the student's attendance and
participation in Laboratories (whose attendance and execution of this first learning
experience is mandatory) and other academic tasks.
It is advisable to obtain more than 11 points in the average of the exams. In Practice: an
exam at the end of the rotation plus the presentation of a nursing care process for an
assigned patient.
7. The minimum passing grade is 11, both for Theory and Practice. Any fraction equal
to or greater than 0.5 is rounded to the highest integer in the final average.
8. The student who does not appear to take a scheduled exam has 48 hours to request in
writing from the subject teacher a new date to take the Laggards Exam (one time only),
provided that the absence is justified, attaching proof of medical care extended by a
Health or Emergency Center of a MINSA Hospital (certificate from a private doctor,
clinics or other entity is not accepted) after said time the presentation is untimely,
leaving a grade of zero (00) in said exam, The student who, during or at the end of the
academic period, accumulates 30% or more of absences from the Theory sessions is
disqualified from starting or continuing clinical practice and taking the theory exams.
9. Attendance at Clinical Practice is mandatory, considering 100% of the hours
scheduled during the cycle and rotation for services. There is no justification for delays
when entering, nor for leaving the service or Hospital, before completing the schedule
without authorization from the practice teacher, because it constitutes abandonment. The
student who incurs this offense is considered non-attendance at service and the
respective sanction, as the case may be. Remember that the Clinical Practice Hours are:
7:00 – 12:00 m.,
10. The student who has Unjustified absence in practice will be evaluated with a grade
of 00 in said Rotation. Recurrence of absences, in the same or another practice rotation,
is evaluated with a 01 in said rotation, disqualifying him from continuing with the
practice, and he will be removed from service.
11. The student cannot recover hours of practice due to unjustified absence, except for
those who were absent for Justified Cause (proven and supported illness, or unforeseen
accident, or bereavement by parents), presenting the certificate provided by the doctor
who treated them at the Health Center or MINSA Hospital. These absences must not
exceed 15% of the practice hours scheduled in said rotation.
12. The average Grades in Theory are obtained from the sum of the 2 exams taken. The
minimum passing grade that the student must obtain is 11, a condition for averaging
with the attendance grade and mandatory participation in all Laboratories scheduled
during the semester.
13. The average of grades in practice is obtained from the sum of the grades obtained in
the rotation through the Medicine service and the presentation of the PAE.
14. The student who, after having taken the 02 exams scheduled in Theory and has 1
failed partial exam, can take the Substitute Exam whose grade will replace the grade he
previously had.
15. There is no Failed exam if the student failed the practice, having passed the theory
or not.
