  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Lecturing The concepts acquired in the classroom will be evaluated in the official exam of the subject. This exam will include questions (of development, of correlation of concepts, in which there will be an interrelation of concepts acquired in the magisterial session, laboratory and / or seminars 70
Laboratory practices 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 20 A2

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 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 0.1. 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 0.5 points over 10.
In addition, in the final theoretical exam will be a fourth test that
will consist of a general evaluation of all practices performed; The
maximum value of this test will also be 0.5 points above 10. The
qualification of the practices will remain within the current
course.

C) Theoretical valuation
The official examination
of the subject will be done by written test where the theoretical
knowledge of the subject will be evaluated. In this test, questions
integrating theoretical and practical knowledge can be realized. The
maximum value of the exam is 7 points out of 10. 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) Final grade of the subject.
To pass the
subject, it is necessary to surpass 40% of the theoretical part (2,8)
and 50% of the practical part (1). Otherwise, the final grade will be
the result of multiplying the total grade (theory + practices +
seminars) by 0.5.

If the student surpasses the theorical part of the subject, their
grade can be increased taking into account the questionnaires that
are carried out during the year as long as the average final grade is equal or greater than 6.

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.
