TBCM is a subject with mandatory practical sessions. Unjustified absence from one or more laboratory sessions is incompatible with passing this subject.
TBCM is a course that consists of four consecutive laboratory modules (Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Immunology) with continuous evaluation divided into two parts.
Part A: 50% of the final grade is determined by the sum of the grades obtained in each module. These grades can come from various activities such as result submissions, notebooks, solved questionnaires, or others, submitted on time. A minimum of three out of ten points must be obtained in each module. Circumstances such as lack of punctuality or a demotivated or negligent attitude in the laboratories can lower the final scores.
Part B: The remaining 50% of the final grade comes from the completion of 2 written tests, where questions related to the contents of the four completed modules are asked. Again, a minimum of three out of ten points must be obtained in each module's corresponding part.
If a student has a justified absence from two or more laboratory sessions, continuous evaluation is not possible. In that case, students would have to take an exam to pass the subject, in the form of a written test that consists of two parts:
Theoretical part (50% of the final grade): Four exams with questions about the contents of each of the four modules that make up the subject. A minimum of three out of ten points must be obtained in each module to pass.
Practical part (50% of the final grade): Resolution of a practical case from each of the four modules that compose the subject. Similarly, a minimum of three out of ten points must be obtained in each module. |
