Integrative cell biology and physiology: Implications for health

Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Objective questions exam	There will be 4 short tests (10 minutes) throughout the term, which will be given during class time. These tests are aimed at evaluating theoretical knowledge taught in class sessions.	10	A2	B4	C6 C10 C16	D1
Essay questions exam	It will take place in the final test. It will allow evaluating theoretical and general knowledge of the subject. It will include short development questions and practical cases.	40	A2	B3	C6 C16	D2
Essay	Aimed at evaluating knowledge related to the seminar sessions. They are works done in groups (2-3 students) and in pairs of groups. They will involve the development of a short report, an exposition and a defense of the work in front of the class. Three aspects will be taken into account in the evaluation: 1. Performance during the realization of the work (20%). 2. Presentation and defense of the final proposal (5%). 3. Ability to argue the strong points of one's own project and the weak points of the opponent (5%).	30	A2 A3	B2 B4	C6 C10 C16 C17	D1 D2 D3 D4
Objective questions exam	It is aimed at the evaluation of the practical contents. It will be carried out in the last practical session of Cell Biology (first part of the test, 7%) and Physiology (second part of the test, 13%).	20	A3	B3 B4	C3 C6 C10 C16	D3 D4

Other comments on the Evaluation
Minimum grades and second chance evaluation In order to pass the course, students must complete all the proposed activities and achieve a minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 (5/10) in each evaluable activity (theoretical contents, seminars, laboratory practices). However, it will be possible to compensate the different activities if a minimum grade of 4/10 points is reached in each of them. In case of not reaching the minimum grade in the section of theoretical contents (4/10), that will be the grade that will appear in the final qualification of the subject (the grades of practices and seminars will not be taken into account). The justification of non-attendance to the practical sessions and seminars does not exempt the student from taking them in another group, as long as the calendar allows it. Second opportunity and next course The activities passed in the first opportunity of the course will be retained for the second opportunity. In the case of practices and seminars, their recovery in the second opportunity will entail the realization of an alternative evaluation test. Students who repeat the subject in the following course will keep the grades obtained in the activities passed in the previous course, having to repeat those not passed. Optionally they can repeat those activities even if they pass them, in this case participating in a new evaluation process. Global assessment Students may request a global assessment, which will entail the waiver of continuous assessment. The global evaluation will allow obtaining 100% of the score of the subject by means of a test on the official date set for the final exam of the subject, both in the first opportunity and in the second one. The exam may include: - Objective development questions; - Development questions; - Practical cases, etc. The global evaluation does not exempt from the realization of practices and seminars of the subject. in the case of not realization of these activities, the final grade in the subject will be of 0 points.

Plagiarism will be prosecuted in the work, as well as copying from other students during the evaluation tests, which may be grounds for a reduction of the grade and even a failure in the subject.
