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 (July) 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.

Failure to attend all the evaluable activities automatically implies a NO SHOW in the Biochemistry I report on both occasions (January and July). On the other hand, the completion of some of the evaluable activities, but not all of them, leads to a failure in the Biochemistry I report (both opportunities).

Likewise, if the student prefers a global assessment, he/she must request it within the period provided by the Dean's Office of Biology. The comprehensive exam will include questions from the laboratory practicals, exercises from the seminars and all the theoretical part.

Students who do not pass Biochemistry I in either of the two opportunities, the grade for the activities (laboratory practicals and seminars) will be maintained for the following two academic years, as long as they have achieved the minimum grade required. Only those activities that have not been passed will be repeated. Activities that have already been passed cannot be re-evaluated.
