The evaluation of the Biochemistry I 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 Biochemistry course (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 assessed separately (5.0 out of 10). Otherwise, the grades will not be added, and the grade that will appear in the Biochemistry I report will be the highest of the failed activities.
The activities that obtained a grade equal to or higher than the minimum required (5.0 out of 10) in the first opportunity (January) of an academic year are saved for the second opportunity (July). In the second opportunity (July) it will not be possible to recover laboratory practices and seminars, only the written tests not passed in the first opportunity can be carried out. The final grade for Biochemistry I (xullo) will be the sum of the weighted grades for each section as long as the minimum required grade (5.0 out of 10) has been reached.
If the student does not attend any of the evaluable activities, he will appear as NOT PRESENTED in the Biochemistry I report on both occasions (January and July). Carrying out any of the proposed evaluable activities, but not all, automatically implies a fail in the Biochemistry Act (both opportunities).
These criteria will be applied identically on both occasions.
Likewise, students who prefer a global evaluation of the Biochemistry I subject must notify them within the period provided by the center. The global exam will include laboratory practice questions, seminar exercises and all the theoretical part.
Students who do not pass the subject of Biochemistry I in either of the two opportunities, will keep the marks of the activities (practices and seminar) for the following two academic years, as long as they have reached the minimum required grade. Only activities not passed will be repeated. Activities that have already been passed cannot be re-evaluated.
