Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Lecturing	Attendance will be evaluated There will be final evaluation tests for both modules. The relative weighting of each will be 50%. A minimum of a 4 in each module is required to pass the exam. The final exam will consist of objective tests, developmental questions and problem solving.	0	A2 A3 A5	B1 B4 B5		D5
Laboratory practical	In the module of Plant Physiology (5% of the qualification) the evaluation will be by attendance and questions in the final exam. In the module of Animal Physiology (5% of the qualification) the evaluation will be by attendance.	10	A2 A3 A5	B1 B4 B5	C9 C10 C11	D1 D5
Mentored work	Volunteer for the module of Plant Physiology. (Short collaborative learning activities in the classroom, in spontaneous or random groups. Immediate delivery. They are complementary to the evaluation, not mandatory. Each classroom activity delivered raises one tenth of the final grade of PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, although they do not penalize if they are not delivered).	0	A2 A3 A5	B1	C9 C10	D1 D2 D4 D5
Discussion Forum	Voluntary for both modules (Each QUALITY contribution to the forums adds one-tenth to the final grade of the corresponding ANIMAL or VEXETAL exam, up to a maximum of 1 point in each part. It does not penalize you if you do not participate.).	0	A2 A3 A5		C10 C11	D1 D2 D4 D5
Seminars	Attendance is mandatory for the continuous evaluation, given its experimental and practical nature. In the Plant Physiology module, the mark will be based on attendance and performance (5%), and the problems will be subject of the exam. In the Animal Physiology module, students in groups of 2-3 will elaborate a work to be presented in the classroom, and the mark will be based on attendance and performance (15%).	20	A2 A3 A5	B1 B4 B5	C9 C10 C11	D1 D2 D4 D5

Other comments on the Evaluation
To pass the subject, it is required that the overall qualification of each of the modules (exams, seminars and practices) separately is not less than 4 points. Partial and final exams: The partial evaluation of the Animal Physiology module will be held in classroom hours at the end of the module (date to be confirmed, will be communicated through the Moovi platform with due notice). The evaluation of the Plant Physiology module will take place on the official date of the first opportunity determined by the Xunta de Facultade and published in the exam calendar of the Faculty's website (mar.uvigo.gal). On this official date, students may sit the exam of both modules of the subject, as long as they have not sat the partial exam of the Animal Science module. The second chance exam will be held on the official date determined by the Xunta de Facultad and published in the exam calendar of the Faculty's website (mar.uvigo.gal). In this second chance exam, students will be able to sit only the module they have pending (with qualification < 4). Itinerary of global evaluation: There is a second alternative itinerary to the continuous evaluation with the possibility of passing the subject in a single final test, which will include the contents of theory and the seminars of problems of Plant Physiology. The application for this itinerary must be communicated to the teachers of the subject at the beginning of the semester and must be justified. For students who opt for the global evaluation, the delivery of the report of problems of Plant Physiology and the work of Animal Physiology is voluntary and can raise the final grade up to two points. ------- Students taking this subject are required to behave responsibly and honestly. Any form of fraud (copying or plagiarism) aimed at falsifying the level of knowledge and skills achieved in any kind of test, report or work is considered unacceptable. Fraudulent conduct may result in the suspension of the subject for a full academic year. will keep an internal record of these actions so that, in case of recurrence, request the opening of a disciplinary file to the rector's office.
