The dates for
the written exams of the theoretical aspects of the course will coincide with
the official dates stated in the assessment schedule of the Faculty (May and
July attempts), which can be found on the faculty website:
http://bioloxia.uvigo.es/en/teaching/exams The written
exams of the practical aspects of the subject will be done at the end of each
of the practical classes. The scores obtained during the continuous evaluation
(seminars, laboratory exercises, on-line activities) will be maintained for the
second and extra attempts scheduled for the current academic year. The final grade
will be obtained as the sum of the different evaluation components (after
calculating the percentages assigned), as long as each part of the total
evaluation (theory, lab sessions, seminars and assignments) had been passed with
a minimum value of 5.0. In the case of students not achieving the mark of 5 in either of these components, the score obtained in the failed component will become the numeric final grade.
In addition, the teacher may propose extra (voluntary) activities
for those students willing to increase the average grade obtained. They will be
announced throughout the semester and therefore, it is the student's obligation
to stay informed throughout this period. Students will also have the choice to take a final exam of 100% of the
subject contents (instead of the continous evaluation procedure) as long
as they have attended all the laboratory sessions. There will be a
period to select this modality, which will be established by the
faculty. A student will
receive a grade of "not presented" (NP) when he/she has not attended
the final written exam that will be held in the two official calls (first and
second call) and if he/she does not perform any of the other activities included
in the continuous evaluation procedure (i.e., seminars, laboratory exercises,
on-line assignments). If a student
fails some elements of the course, he/she may still be able to progress to the
next year by repeating all those elements of the continuous evaluation
procedure that were not passed first time. However, students need to consult
with the professors if only failed elements will be re-taken/deferred and upon
which conditions. Cheating and
plagiarism in any of the different activities of the evaluation could result in
failing the activity and/or the entire course. |
