TBCM is a course with compulsory practicals distributed in four modules (Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology and Genetics). The absence without justification to one or more laboratory sessions prevents the passing of the course. The justified absence (article 15.2 of the regulation on evaluation, grading and quality of teaching and student learning process, of the Universidade de Vigo) to two or more laboratory practices, prevents the continuous evaluation. In that case, students would have to take a global evaluation exam.
The grade of the subject includes:
(a) the grade derived from the continuous assessment (test examinations and delivery of reports) throughout the course -60%- (module I, of Cell Biology, 12%; module II, of Biochemistry, 18%; module III, of Immunology, 12%; module IV, of Genetics, 18%). A minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 must be obtained in each module. Circumstances such as lack of punctuality, non-integration in the assigned group, or a demotivated or negligent attitude in the laboratories may detract from the final scores.
b) the grade derived from the first or second opportunity exam, to be held on the officially determined dates -40%-. Also in this case, a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 must be obtained in the part corresponding to each of the four modules.
In the case of students who opt for the GLOBAL EVALUATION, the exam (100% of the final grade) will consist of:
Theoretical part (50% of the final grade). Questions with contents of each of the four modules of the subject, having to obtain a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 in each module to pass it.
Practical part (50% of the final grade). Resolution of a practical case in each of the four modules that compose the subject, having to obtain a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 in each module.
