  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Lecturing Throughout the development of the subject, 5 self-assessment questionnaires will be carried out using the Moovi platform. Each questionnaire will include questions corresponding to a group of theoretical lessons. They will be carried out in the classroom before the theoretical class. 15 A4

Laboratory practical The concepts acquired in the laboratory sessions will be evaluated in three follow-up tests carried out every two practices and a final test coinciding with the official examination of the subject. In all of them the student will have to identify different structures in images or schemes, such as cell types, tissues, organs, type of growth or group of plants, structures also explained in the classroom 24 A3

Other comments on the Evaluation

Attendance
to theory classes, practices and seminars is mandatory for all
students and will be subject to rigorous control in the second year
students. Continuous monitoring of attendance to theory and practice,
as well as intervention in the seminar debates, will be used to
monitor the performance of the student. The student will have to have
at least 80% of attendance to the different activities to be
evaluated.

The evaluation of the subject Cytology and
Histology Animal and Plant II will combine written tests and
continuous evaluation throughout the course.

A) Evaluation of
the seminar.
The evaluation of the seminar (maximum value: 1,1 point
out of 10) will be carried out continuously during the course. As
there are three seminars the value of each will be 0.3 points. This note is achieved by assessment of knowledge, and attendance at the three seminars will add the remaining 0.2. The inclusion of the value of the
seminar in the final grade of the subject will be carried out if and
only if the student is submitted to the official examination of the
subject.
The qualification of the seminar will be kept within the
current course.

B) Practical Assessment

Throughout the
practices will be carried out three tests that will mainly consist of
the identification of tissues and / or organs through the observation
of slides. Each test will have a maximum value of 0.8 points over 10.
The
qualification of the practices will remain within the current
course.

C) Theoretical valuation
There will be two written tests where the theoretical knowledge of the subject will be assessed. In these tests, questions integrating theoretical and practical knowledge may be asked. The maximum value of both tests is 5 points out of 10, of which 3.5 points will correspond to the part of animal histology that will be carried out on the official date and the rest, 1.5 points will correspond to the part of plant histology, which will take place once that part is finished.. The format of
questions will be varied and may include:
1) Short answer
questions.
2) Questions that link the identification of images /
schemes with theoretical concepts.
3) Test questions (single /
multiple answer), based on knowledge acquired in the classroom and in
the laboratory.

D) Assessment of the questionnaires (self-evaluation)

Throughout the development of the subject, 5 self-assessment questionnaires will be carried out using the Moovi platform. Each questionnaire will comprise questions corresponding to a group of theoretical lessons. They will take place in the classroom and each one will have a value of 0.3 points.

E) Final grade of the subject.To pass the
subject, it is necessary to surpass 50% of the theoretical part (2,5)
and 50% of the practical part (1,2). Otherwise, the final grade will be
the result of multiplying the total grade (theory + practices +
seminars+ questionnaires) by 0.5.

Students who reject
the continuous assessment may request the global assessment in the period
established by the center.The evaluation will be carried out on the official
dates of first and second opportunity. This evaluation will make it possible to
achieve 100% of the score for the subject in an exam broken down into three
parts: theoretical content (5 points), practical content (3 points) and
seminars (2 points).

 

 

 

Repeating
students from other courses must take the seminars and quizzes. If they
consider and voluntarily, they may or may not attend the practices, but it is
mandatory to take the exams that are carried out during the course.

According to the scale
determined by the University of Vigo, the subject of Cytology and
Histology Animal and Plant II will have numerical qualification with
only one decimal, with the following equivalence:
NOT SUBMITTED,  will be the student who does not take the final exam.
NOT PASS:
0-4,9
PASS: 5-6.9
NOTABLE: 7-8.9
OUTSTANDING: 9-10
HONOR
REGISTRY: Awarded to students who have obtained a grade of 9 or
higher. Their number may not exceed 5% of students enrolled in a
subject in the corresponding academic year, unless the number of
students enrolled is less than 20 , In which case, a single
Matriculation of Honor may be granted.

The dates of the exams
and the class schedules can be consulted in the web page of the
faculty being susceptible of modification in special
circumstances.
