Learning assessment is achieved through a single exam covering all course subjects. The test consists of 54 multiple-choice questions, of which only one is correct, and three open-ended questions, structured as case studies in which students will apply their acquired knowledge. The three open-ended questions will focus on one case study from Therapeutic Education, one from Family and Community Nursing, and one from Mental Health Nursing. To evaluate the open-ended questions, instructors have specific grading grids available that take into account the data collected, objectives, interventions, strategies, and the final evaluation of the case study. Correct multiple-choice questions are worth 1 point; open-ended questions can earn a maximum of 10 points per question. A maximum total score of 84 points is awarded. A student passes the test if they obtain 60% of the total score and at least 30% of the individual subjects. Students have 105 minutes to complete the test. The test is administered in person on an online platform.
