Other comments on the Evaluation
Qualifications, minimum scores and second chance

Students must complete all the proposed activities. In case of not doing any of them, the grade will be zero, and as such it will be considered in the final grade of the subject.

CALCULATION OF THE FINAL SCORE: the score obtained by the student in each module will be taken into account, applying the following ponderation according to the weight of the module: Final overall grade = 0.66 x (grade of the module Animal Physiology) + 0.33 x (grade of the module Plant Physiology).

To succeed in the subject it will be essential to obtain a minimum grade of 4 (out of 10) in each of the modules separately. In addition, in the FA module it is essential to obtain a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 in the final exam. In case of not achieving this score, it will be that grade that will appear in the overall grade of the subject.

SECOND CHANCE: The components of the final grade in the first opportunity are maintained for the second opportunity. However, neither the practicals nor the seminars will be recoverable in the second opportunity. Attendance to these activities is mandatory within the deadlines established in the calendar, and the grade obtained in the first opportunity will be maintained for the second opportunity.

Global evaluation

Students may request a global evaluation, which will entail the waiver of the continuous evaluation. The global evaluation will allow obtaining 100% of the score of the subject by means of a test on the official date set for the final exam, both in the first opportunity and in the second one.

The test may include: - Objective response questions, ii) Developmental questions, iii) Case studies, iv) Case studies.

The global evaluation does not exempt the completion of the internships and seminars of the subject. The grade obtained in these activities will be part of the overall evaluation grade, with the percentage previously indicated. If these activities are not carried out, the final grade of the subject will be 0 points.
