  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Lecturing Throughout the development of the subject, 5 self-assessment questionnaires will be carried out using the Moovi platform. Each questionnaire will include questions corresponding to a group of theoretical lessons. They will be carried out in the classroom before the theoretical class. 15 A4

Laboratory practical 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 24 A3

Other comments on the Evaluation

Attendanceto theory classes, practices and seminars is mandatory for allstudents and will be subject to rigorous control in the second yearstudents. Continuous monitoring of attendance to theory and practice,as well as intervention in the seminar debates, will be used tomonitor the performance of the student. The student will have to haveat least 80% of attendance to the different activities to beevaluated.
The evaluation of the subject Cytology andHistology Animal and Plant II will combine written tests andcontinuous evaluation throughout the course.
A) Evaluation ofthe seminar.
The evaluation of the seminar (maximum value: 1,1 pointout of 10) will be carried out continuously during the course. Asthere 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 0.2. The inclusion of the value of theseminar in the final grade of the subject will be carried out if andonly if the student is submitted to the official examination of thesubject.
The qualification of the seminar will be kept within thecurrent course.
B) Practical Assessment
Throughout thepractices will be carried out three tests that will mainly consist ofthe identification of tissues and / or organs through the observationof slides. Each test will have a maximum value of 0.8 points over 10.Thequalification of the practices will remain within the currentcourse.
C) Theoretical valuation
There will be two written tests where the theoretical knowledge of the subject will be assessed. In these tests, questions integrating theoretical and practical knowledge may be asked. The maximum value of both tests is 5 points out of 10, of which 3.5 points will correspond to the part of animal histology that will be carried out on the official date and the rest, 1.5 points will correspond to the part of plant histology, which will take place once that part is finished.. The format ofquestions will be varied and may include:
1) Short answerquestions.
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 inthe laboratory.

D) Assessment of the questionnaires (self-evaluation)
Throughout the development of the subject, 5 self-assessment questionnaires will be carried out using the Moovi platform. Each questionnaire will comprise questions corresponding to a group of theoretical lessons. They will take place in the classroom and each one will have a value of 0.3 points. Within the course schedule, a series of days will be assigned to complete the questionnaires. These days will be put in the subject's activity table so the student will know these dates well in advance. All this means that there will be no excuse not to take the questionnaire unless it is an emergency. In any case, the questionnaires only have a completion date.

E) Final grade of the subject.To pass thesubject, it is necessary to surpass 50% of the theoretical part (2,5)and 50% of the practical part (1,2). Otherwise, the final grade will bethe result of multiplying the total grade (theory + practices +seminars+ questionnaires) by 0.5.

Students who rejectthe continuous assessment may request the global assessment in the periodestablished by the center.The evaluation will be carried out on the officialdates of first and second opportunity. This evaluation will make it possible toachieve 100% of the score for the subject in an exam broken down into threeparts: theoretical content (5 points), practical content (3 points) andseminars (2 points).

Repeatingstudents from other courses must take the seminars and quizzes. If theyconsider and voluntarily, they may or may not attend the practices, but it ismandatory to take the exams that are carried out during the course.

According to the scaledetermined by the University of Vigo, the subject of Cytology andHistology Animal and Plant II will have numerical qualification withonly 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
HONORREGISTRY: Awarded to students who have obtained a grade of 9 orhigher. Their number may not exceed 5% of students enrolled in asubject in the corresponding academic year, unless the number ofstudents enrolled is less than 20 , In which case, a singleMatriculation of Honor may be granted.

The dates of the examsand the class schedules can be consulted in the web page of thefaculty being susceptible of modification in specialcircumstances.
