  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.

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).

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%).

For the 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 mark up to two points.

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.

The exams of the Animal Physiology module will take place during class hours once the theoretical module is finished. The exams and problem-solving of the Plant Physiology module will be held once the theoretical module has been completed on the date, time, and place of the official evaluation exams, which will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences (http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/). 

All exam and delivery dates will be published on the teledocency platform Moovi. The evaluation tests of both modules in the 2nd opportunity will be held on the date, time, and place of the official evaluation tests of the 2nd opportunity, which will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences (http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/). Students who take the continuous assessment may take the 2nd opportunity only for the failed module, and the mark of the approved module, practices and seminars will be kept. 

Global evaluation option:

The application for this evaluation option will have to be submitted in the time and form determined by the Center, which will be published prior to the academic start. Given the experimental nature of the practicals, attendance is mandatory in order to be eligible for this evaluation option. 

The evaluation tests (exams and problem solving) will be held on the date, time and place of the official evaluation tests, which will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences (http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/). The evaluation tests of both modules in the 2nd opportunity will be held on the date, time and place of the official evaluation tests of the 2nd opportunity, which will be published on the official website of the Faculty of Marine Sciences (http://mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/). Students who opt for a global evaluation may also take the 2nd opportunity only to the failed module, and the mark of the approved module will be kept. Failure to attend the practicals without a justified cause invalidates this possibility, as well as the opportunity for extraordinary evaluation (2nd opportunity).

Students taking this course 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 behavior may result in the suspension of the subject for an entire course. An internal record of these actions will be kept so that, in case of recurrence, a disciplinary file may be requested to be opened to the rector's office.
