The subject consists of three differentiated thematic blocks, which constitute per se important tools for the performance of modern Biology:

Thematic block-1: Remote sensing and geographic information systems (TD)

Thematic block-2: Data analysis and R programming language

Thematic block-3: Introduction to programming with Python

It is the default evaluation mode. The detailed evaluation is:

Face-to-face exam block 1: 14%

Face-to-face exam block 2: 13%

Face-to-face exam block 3: 13%

Assistance to face-to-face activities

Block 1: 20%

Block 2: 20%

Block 3: 20%

Attendance and use

Memory

Problem solving and exercises

Presentation of exercises on the virtual platform within the established period

Control at the end of each practice

Final exam

1) Obtain a minimum final grade of 4 out of 10 (40%) in each block, both in its practical part and in the final exam. If the minimum of each block is not exceeded, the subject will not be approved.

2) Attendance at all face-to-face activities (including practices) is MANDATORY to PASS the subject, except duly justified absence for any of the officially considered reasons for exemption (illness or federated sports commitments).

3) In the practical part, the student must take a test at the end of each practice of each group. Passing this test (or completing a project if the teacher so decides because the student has not passed the practical part) will be necessary to pass the subject in addition to the final exam. The practical part (attendance to practices plus passing the test or work if applicable) will account for 20% of the total final mark in each block.

4) The final exam is broken down into three independent tests, one per block, and each block accounts for 13% (14% in block 1) of the final grade, and it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in said exam.

5) If, and only if, the minimum grade for each block has been exceeded, the final grade for the subject is calculated as the weighted average of the grades for each block according to the formula:

FIB final mark = block 1 (0.2 practical note + 0.14 exam) + block 2 (0.2 practical note + 0.13 exam) + block 3 (0.2 practical note + 0.13 exam).

If the minimum grade is not reached in any block, the final grade is failed.

That is to say, the minimum mark of each block must be reached to calculate the final mark in the indicated way. Note that the delivery of the memory, work and / or practical exercises required by the teacher in each block is mandatory so that the non-presentation of it prevents passing the subject (the minimum grade per block will not be reached).

Students who do not take the final exam will be recorded as Not Present.

Second opportunity

All grades, except for the final exam, will be saved for the second chance in July. Therefore, if a student has not completed the practical part (does not reach the minimum grade) they will not be able to pass the second chance exam. In the case of the final exam, if a student has passed a block, it is at the discretion of the teacher to save the note for the second opportunity. In any case, the student can always present himself to raise the grade.

The request for this evaluation option must be submitted at the time and in the manner determined by the Center, which will be published prior to the academic start.

Given the experimental nature of all the activities, attendance at them is mandatory to be eligible for this evaluation option.

Failure to attend practices, compulsory classes and seminars, without justified cause, invalidates this possibility, as well as the opportunity for extraordinary evaluation (2nd opportunity).

In the case of the global exam, if the student has attended all the activities. The overall test is divided into two parts for each thematic block: a practical part (60% of the mark) and a theoretical part (40%) of the mark.

Any attempt to carry out illegal activities in the exams (copying, etc.), as well as plagiarism in the activities carried out will result in a failing in the matter.

1) For a better development of the subject, it is advisable to CAREFULLY READ the Teaching Guide (methodology and evaluation), as well as the information presented on the Moovi platform continuously by the teaching staff and/or coordinator.

2) The didactic material published on the Moovi platform will facilitate the understanding of the explanations, will improve the resolution of questions and doubts and will make it possible to make profitable the time of the master classes, practices and tutorials, so it must be read by the student.
