Articles in conferences and journals of the area (ISBI, MICCAI, T-MI, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, etc.)Recommended study time for students is about 2 hours per week. Additionally, we estimate that they should spend about 6,5 hours / week working in a number of assignments. All of these activities add up to around 120h/semester.

Demonstration of application of knowledge taught in class
For the second part, specifically: Practical projects related to the subject (mandatory presence >75% of classes).
All components may be subjected to oral exam / discussion (e.g. Top 5% grade decision).
Studying time and personal work
Recommended study time for students is about 2 hours per week. Additionally, we estimate that they should spend about 6,5 hours / week working in a number of assignments. All of these activities add up to around 120h/semester.
Subject study recommendations
