Assessment

Molecular Biology of Eukaryotes Evaluation

Attendance is mandatory and, therefore, an absence without justification will result in the non-evaluation of the module. A justified cause could be health problems (a medical certificate must be brought to justify the absence) or serious personal problems. In these cases, the session will be attended whenever possible. The laboratory sessions will be evaluated by an exam that will take place after the 4th session and will represent 80% of the final grade. The attitude and work of the student in the laboratory will also be evaluated, representing 20% of the total grading.

To pass the module, it is necessary to pass each evaluation activity with a grade higher than 5.

Molecular Biology of Procaryotes Module

In the evaluation of the Molecular Biology module of Procaryotes, two aspects will be taken into account: on the one hand, the note obtained in a questionnaire that will be done at the end of session 5 and which will refer to all the practices that make up this module, and On the other, the achievement of the objectives set in each of the programmed practices will also be valued.

The questionnaire will represent 70% of the final grade of the module, while the remaining 30% will depend on the evaluation of the results obtained and the experimental work performed.

Cytogenetics Module

The module's note will be obtained through the arithmetic mean of the four exercises performed during the laboratory sessions. Taking into account the mandatory nature of the practices, the lack of unjustified assistance implies a penalty in the final note of the module:

- Missing one day implies a reduction of 30% in the practice note.

- Missing two days implies 60% reduction in the practice note.

- Missing to three or more days implies a zero in the practice note.

This penalty is exempt from those students who can not attend the session of their group for just cause. Health problems are justified because the medical certificate must be carried out by the practice coordinator or serious personal problems. In this case, the practice will recover the practice whenever possible.

 Scientific Documentation Module

To pass the module it is essential to attend both sessions, deliver within the established period the two practical exercises provided and conduct a written test. The attendance and realization of the practical exercises supposes 20% of the final qualification. The written test means the remaining 80%.

To pass the subject, it is necessary to first approve each module with a mark ≥ 5. Students who do not pass the different modules of the subject or want to improve their note can present themselves on the scheduled date for the subject's recovery evaluation. The resentment of the student in the examination of improvement of note entails the renunciation of the qualification previously obtained. Students who have not passed one of the modules after the recovery assessment will not approve the subject. However, it will not be necessary for a repeat student to carry out the teaching activities or the evaluations of that module passed after the second enrolment. Repeaters will only have to evaluate the concrete module that they have not passed. This exemption will be maintained for a period of three additional license plates. The final grade is the average of the notes of each module.

Not evaluable

The "Not Evaluable" rating will be obtained when the number of evaluation activities performed is less than 50% of the programmed ones.

To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equalling at least two thirds of the final score of the course or module. Thus, the student will be graded as "No Avaluable" if the weigh thin of all conducted evaluation activities is less than 67% of the final score.

Attendance to practical sessions is mandatory. Students missing more than 20% of programmed sessions will be graded as "No Avaluable".

Students who take the single assessment must do the laboratory practices in face-to-face sessions, as they are teaching activities with compulsory attendance. This unique assessment system will apply to modules 1 (Molecular Biology of Eukaryotes), 2 (Molecular Biology of Prokaryotes) and 3 (Cytogenetics), and will consist of a single synthesis test with test-type questions or development on the contents of the practical activities. The grade obtained in this summary test will have the same weight in the final grade as those established for the continuous assessment.

The single assessment test will take place on a date agreed between the students, the subject coordinator and those responsible for each module.

The same criterion will be applied to approve the subject and the same recovery system as for the continuous assessment. The review of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
