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 subject is composed of three midterm exams. The first midterm exam includes the general anatomy and anatomy of the upper limb, the second midterm exam includes the anatomy of the lower limb and that of the cardiovascular system and the third midterm exam includes embryology and anatomy of the trunk.
There will be two opportunities to pass each of the three midterm exams: each midterm evaluation scheduled during the course and the recovery test.
MIDTERM EXAMS:
The first midterm represents 35% of the final grade, the second midterm the 35% and the third the 30%.
Each midterm will consist of:
A. Theoretical part: Represents 60% of the grade of the midterm exam. 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 test (short or long written questions). It will constitute 50% of the theoretical part.
B. Practical part: Represents 40% of the grade of the midterm exam. Test consisting of questions related to the practical aspect of the subject (interpretation of images, resolution of questions from images, identification of structures, problem solving ....)
The grade of the midterm exam = Theoretical part grade (out of 10) x0.6 + Practical part grade (out of 10) x 0.4
Midterm overcome: A midterm will have been overcome when the grade of the midterm exam is > or = 5.0 and, in addition, a grade > or = 4.0 of the theoretical part and the practical part of that midterm has been obtained.
RECOVERY EXAM:
The subject will schedule a recovery test, according to the teaching calendar of the Faculty. It is not necessary to take the recovery test when the three midterm exams have been passed throughout the course.
The recovery exam should be performed when:
- Have not passed one, two or three midterm exams.
- Any of the midterm exams have not been taken.
- Having passed the midterms, you want to improve the grade of one, two or three midterms. In this case, it is not necessary to renounce the grade obtained in the midterms carried out during the course, leaving as the final grade of the midterm the one that is higher of the two (midterm and recovery).
Features of the recovery exam
In the recovery exam, each midterm will be evaluated separately. Each midterm exam will be governed by the same rules, proportions and weightings as the one carried out during the course.
STUDENTS ENROLLED TWO OR MORE TIMES:
Those who have enrolled two or more times and have not passed the subject in the midterm exams carried out during the course may take a final synthesis test. This exam must be requested from the coordination of the subject at least 1 week before the recovery exam. This final synthesis test will be carried out instead of the multiple choice exam, which represents 60% of the grade of each midterm. There will be a final synthesis test for each midterm. The examination of recognition of anatomical structures (the remaining 40% of the final test of synthesis) will be done following the same methodology as in the midterm exams.
FINAL GRADE OF THE SUBJECT:
The final grade of the subject corresponds to the weighted sum of the three midterms (either obtained in the first instance or in the recovery exam).
Subject grade = 1st midterm grade (out of 10) x 0.35 + 2nd midterm grade (out of 10) x 0.35 + 3rd midterm grade (out of 10) x 0.30.
To apply this formula, it is necessary that the three midterms are "overcome" (according to the conditions explained previously).
To pass the subject it is necessary that the weighted sum of the three midterms is equal to or greater than 5.
If not all the midterms are passed, it is not possible to pass the subject, even if the weighted sum of the three midterms is greater than 5. In this case the final grade to the minutes will be 4 points maximum.
The final grade will have a numerical expression, with a decimal, on the scale 0-10 and with qualitative equivalence according to the UAB criteria, failing (0-4.9), passing (5.0-6.9), notable (7.0-8.9) and excellent (9.0-10.0) (with the option of achieving the qualification of Honors). The number of honors awarded may not exceed 5% as established by the UAB academic regulations.
It is considered not evaluable who has not submitted at least two calls for evaluation.
CALLS, REVIEWS:
The exam sessions (day, time, classroom, etc.) and review will be announced through the UAB virtual campus. The procedure for reviewing the tests will be in accordance with the current regulations of the UAB and in any case it will be individual.
The results of the evaluation activities will be announced through the UAB virtual campus.
SINGLE EVALUATION
This subject does not include the single evaluation.

| Practical type evaluation through structured objective evaluation | 40% | 2.25 | 0.09 | 5, 2, 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 13, 11, 12, 14, 4 |
| Written evaluation through objective tests of selection: items of multiple choice and/or development | 60% | 4.13 | 0.17 | 2, 3, 7, 10, 14 |
