Methodology
LECTURES (Typology TE): Teaching essentially expository character and is usually done in a classroom and at a schedule previously programmed. 37 hours of theoretical classes are programmed.
SPECIALISED SEMINARS (Typology SESP): Teaching conducted by a specialized professor in the study of different aspects of osteology, which the students will have previously prepared autonomously. In this activity human bones will be used from the bone collection of the unit of Anatomy and Human Embryology of the Faculty of Medicine. Three specialized seminars are programmed for 2 hours each.
LABORATORY PRACTICES (Type PLAB): Teaching that consists in carrying out practical activities in the dissection room of the Anatomy and Human Embryology Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, within a specific timetable, with the permanent assistance of the Professors. Five practices are programmed in the dissection room of 2 hours each.
VIRTUAL CLASSES (Type VIRT): Teaching without attending the classroom under the permanent and personalized supervision of the student and intensively using the information and communication technologies (ICT). This activity will be carried out by the student using material made to prepare the seminars and practices, as well as self-study material. This material will be found in the Virtual Campus of the course.
FREELANCE WORK: Comprehensive reading of texts and scientific articles. Study and realization of schemes, abstract and conceptual assimilation of the content of the course. Preparation and elaboration of practical activities.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
EVALUATION OF THE SUBJECT
The evaluation of the course is composed of three mid-term exams. The first part includes the general anatomy embryology and the anatomy of the upper limb, the second mid-term exam includes the anatomy of the inferior limb and the third mid-term exam includes the anatomy of the trunk and the cardiovascular system.
All students will have two opportunities to overcome each of the three mid-term exams: the assessments programmed during the course and the recovery exam.
MID-TERM EXAMS:
The first mid-term exam represents 35% of the final grade, the second the 35% and the third the 30%.
Each mid-term exam will consist of:
A. Theoretical part: Represents 60% of the mid-term exam mark. The theoretical part will consist of two parts:
- An objective test (test type, true or false...). It will constitute 50% of the theoretical part.
- A written exam (short or long written questions). It will constitute 50% of the theoretical part.
B. Practical part: Represents 40% of the mid-term exam mark. Consisting of questions related to the practical aspect of the subject. (interpretation of images, resolution of issues from images, identification of structures, problem solving,....)
The mid-term exam mark - Theoretical part mark (about 10) x 0.6 + Practical part mark (about 10) x 0.4
Mid-term exam exceeded: A mid-term exam will have been exceeded when the mid-term exam mark is either > or 5.0
RECOVERY EXAM:
The course will schedule a recovery exam, in accordance with the faculty's teaching calendar. Students who have passed the three partial exams throughout the course will not be required to take the recovery exam.
The students that must submit to the recovery exam are:
Students who have not passed one, two or three partial exams.
Students who have not submitted to any of the partial exams.
Students who have completed the partial but want to improve the grade of one, two or three of them. In this case, the student does not need to give up the grade obtained during the course, the final mark will be the highest of both (mid-term exam and recovery).
Features of the recovery exam:
The recovery exam will evaluate each mid-term exam separately. Each exam will be governed by the same rules, proportions and weightings that were performed during the course.
STUDENTS ENROLLED TWO OR MORE TIMES:
Students enrolled two or more times who have not passed the subject in the exams made during the course maybesubmitted to a “final synthesis exam”. This examination should be requested to the coordinator of the subject at least one week before the recovery exam. This “final synthesis exam” will be done instead of the multiple-choice exam, representing 60% of the partial grade. There will be a “final synthesis exam” for each part. The examination of recognition of anatomical structures (the remaining 40%) will do the same as the rest of the students who perform the recovery test.
GRADE OF THE COURSE:
The grade of the course corresponds to the weighted sum of the three mid-term exams (either obtained in the first instance or in the recovery exam).
Course Grade = 1st mid-term mark (out of 10) x 0.35 + 2nd mid-term mark (out of 10) x 0.35 +3rd mid-term mark (out of 10) x 0.30.
To apply this formula it is necessary that the three mid-term exams had been passed (according to the conditions explained previously)
In the suposition that not all the partials are passed, it is not possible to pass the subject even if the weighted sum of the three partial is greater than 5. In this casethe student's mark to the minutes will beof 4 points maximum.
The final mark will have a numerical expression, with a decimal, to scale 0-10 andthequalitative equivalence in accordance with the criteria of the UAB, of suspense (0-4.9), approved (5.0-6.9), notable (7.0-8.9) and excellent (9.0-10.0) (with the option to achieve the Qualification of With Honors). The number of honorary registrations granted may not exceed 5% as established in the academic regulations of the UAB.
A non-avaluable student is considered to be the one that has not been presented at least to two calls forevaluation.
ANNOUNCEMENTS, REVISIONS:
Exam Announcements (Day, time, classroom, etc...) and revision will be announced through the virtual campus of the UAB. The procedure for reviewing the tests will comply with the current regulations of the UAB and in any case will be individually with the student.
The results of the evaluation activities will be announced through the UAB's virtual campus.

| Written evaluation through objective tests of selection: items of multiple choice and/or development | 60% | 4.13 | 0.17 | 2, 3, 7, 11, 16 |
