Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practical	Mandatory attendance. The teacher will evaluate the ability and behavior in the laboratory (5% of the final mark) as well as the realization of a practical report (15% of the final mark), in which the students must show the results obtained including a brief discussion. It is essential to obtain a minimum score of 5 out of 10 to be able to weigh with the rest of the sections. This activity is not recoverable if the required minimum is not reached.	20	A1 A2	B2 B3 B6	C1 C4 C6 C10 C11 C13	D1 D2 D4
Seminars	Knowledge of the topics covered will be assessed by solving exercises, which will be handed in on the date set by the teacher. Attendance and delivery of the exercises is mandatory. It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 to be able to weigh the final grade with the rest of the sections. This activity is not recoverable if the required minimum is not reached.	20	A1 A2	B2 B3 B6	C1 C4 C6 C10 C11 C13	D1 D2 D4
Objective questions exam	A first written test corresponding to topics 1-3 will be carried out on the date approved by the Faculty Board (see the center's website). This test will consist of multiple choice questions. It is essential to obtain a minimum score of 5.0 out of 10 to be able to weigh with the rest of the sections. This grade will account for 25% of the final grade.	25	A1 A2	B2 B3 B6	C1 C4 C6 C10 C11 C13	D1 D2
Essay questions exam	A second written test corresponding to topics 4-7 will be carried out on the date approved by the Faculty Board (see the center's website). This test will consist of multiple choice questions and a question on the integration of metabolism regulation. It is essential to obtain a minimum score of 5.0 out of 10 to be able to weigh with the rest of the sections. This grade will account for 35% of the final grade.	35	A1 A2	B2 B3 B6	C1 C4 C6 C10 C11 C13	D1 D2

Other comments on the Evaluation
The evaluation of the Biochemistry II subject is continuous throughout the academic year. To be evaluated in this way, the student must carry out all the proposed activities (laboratory exercises, seminars and two written tests). The particular situations that prevent participation in the usual activities (laboratory practices and seminars) (example: employment contract, illness, etc.) must be communicated as soon as possible to the teacher to find a solution. Attendance is mandatory in the case of seminars and laboratory practices, admitting a single lack of attendance, which must be duly justified. To pass the course of Biochemistry II (final grade as the sum of the weighted grades) it is essential to have obtained a grade equal to or higher than the minimum grade required in each of the activities that can be evaluated separately. Otherwise, the grades will not be added, and the grade that will appear in the Biochemistry II report will be the highest of the sections passed. The activities approved in the first opportunity (May) of an academic year are maintained for the second opportunity (July). In the second opportunity (July) it will not be possible to recover laboratory practices and seminars, only partial exams not passed in the first opportunity can be taken. In the event that the student does not attend any of the evaluable activities, it will appear as NOT PRESENTED in the Biochemistry II report on both occasions (May and July). Carrying out some of the proposed evaluable activities, but not all, automatically implies a fail in the Biochemistry II report (both opportunities). These criteria will be applied identically on both occasions. Likewise, students who prefer a global assessment of the Biochemistry II subject must notify them as soon as possible. The global exam will include questions from the laboratory practices, exercises from the seminars and all the theoretical part. Students who do not pass the Biochemistry II subject on either of the two occasions, will keep the grade for the activities (practices and seminar) for the following two academic years, provided they have reached the minimum grade required. Only activities not passed will be repeated. Activities that have already been approved cannot be re-evaluated.
