Abstract

There are several elements to nursing students' course grades: quizzes, examinations, and presentations. There are several weights for the elements, which adds to the complexity of calculating grades. The accuracy and efficiency of calculating grades can be increased with the help of an appropriate computer program. Nursing faculty may have access to a variety of these computer software programs to aid them in calculating and maintaining students' course grades. These programs include spreadsheets, specific grading programs, and grading features included in online course programs. This article reviews selected computer-based grading programs and reviewers' evaluation of each program, based on the major features.

[Experiencing an emancipatory proposal in the teaching of semiology to nursing].

The aim was to analyze the teaching of Semiology through the programs of subject matters at five universities in the State of Ceará and, specifically, that of a public university. Three (3) classes were observed and meetings were held with teachers and students for collecting data about the teaching-learning process. The teachers presented teaching and research experience, and acknowledge that the high number of students impairs teaching-learning. The students mentioned difficulties in the elaboration of the nursing diagnosis and in the initial contact with the hospitalized client, causing insecurity and rejection of the practical part of the subject matter.
