Competencias

Competencias Básicas

  • CB6. Poseer y comprender conocimientos que aporten una base u oportunidad de ser originales en desarrollo y/o aplicación de ideas, a menudo en un contexto de investigación.
  • CB7. Que los estudiantes sepan aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos y su capacidad de resolución de problemas en entornos nuevos o poco conocidos dentro de contextos más amplios (o multidisciplinares) relacionados con su área de estudio.
  • CB8. Que los estudiantes sean capaces de integrar conocimientos y enfrentarse a la complejidad de formular juicios a partir de una información que, siendo incompleta o limitada, incluya reflexiones sobre las responsabilidades sociales y éticas vinculadas a la aplicación de sus conocimientos y juicios.
  • CB9. Que los estudiantes sepan comunicar sus conclusiones y los conocimientos y razones últimas que las sustentan a públicos especializados y no especializados de un modo claro y sin ambigüedades.
  • CB10. Que los estudiantes posean las habilidades de aprendizaje que les permitan continuar estudiando de un modo que habrá de ser en gran medida autodirigido o autónomo.

Resultados de aprendizaje (Objetivos)

Students will know / understand:

 - The location and function of the main brain structures, and the main fascicles that connect them.

- Printed and online tools and Apps (iPad, Android) available to strengthen knowledge in functional neuroanatomy.

- The different types of neuroimaging techniques currently available, their operating bases, the different varieties of images they offer, and the different types of analysis applicable to these data.

Students will be able to:

 - Locate the main brain structures in various types of material (3D models and figures, printed atlases, web pages, structural neuroimaging –ie T1, T2- in sagittal, axial and coronal orientations) and locate the main brain fascicles in diffusion neuroimaging (DTI).

- Know the functions associated with the main brain structures.

- Understand the operating bases of the main current neuroimaging tools, the types of analysis available for the data they offer, and the type of information that each contributes to the field of functional neuroanatomy.

- Start using some neuroimaging analysis programs, such as SPM, MRIcro/N, etc.

Metodología docente

Evaluación (instrumentos de evaluación, criterios de evaluación y porcentaje sobre la calificación final.)

Evaluación Ordinaria

- Tests, exercises and problems, solved in class or individually throughout the course (50%).

- Final evaluation of reports, works, projects, etc. (individual or group; 10%)

- Written tests and/or essays (20%)

- Contributions of students in discussion and attitude in the different activities carried out (20%

Article 18 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that the ordinary assessment session (convocatoria ordinaria) will preferably be based on the continuous assessment of students, except for those who have been granted the right to a single final assessment (evaluación única final), which is an assessment method that only takes a final exam into account

Evaluación Extraordinaria

The Article 19 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that students who have not passed a course in the ordinary assessment session (convocatoria ordinaria) will have access to an extraordinary assessment session (convocatoria extraordinaria). All students may take part in this extraordinary assessment session, regardless of whether or not they have followed continuous assessment activities. In this way, students who have not carried out continuous assessment activities will have the opportunity to obtain 100% of their mark by delivering all the work assigned in the course and / or by carrying out a test or work in substitution of some or all of such deliveries.

Evaluación única final

The article 8 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that students who are unable to follow continuous assessment methods due to justifiable reasons shall have recourse to a single final assessment (evaluación única final), which is an assessment method that only takes a final exam into account.

In order to opt for a single final assessment (evaluación única final), students must send a request, using the corresponding online procedure, to the coordinator of the master’s programme, in the first two weeks of the course or in the two weeks following their enrolment (if the enrolment has taken place after the classes have already begun). The coordinator will communicate this information to the relevant teaching staff members, citing and verifying the reasons why the student is unable to follow the continuous assessment system.

The evaluation in such a case will consist of the delivery of all the work assigned in the course and / or carrying out a test or work in substitution of some or all of such deliveries.
