Assessment

The competences of this subject will be evaluated by means of objective written tests of the subject and cases and on-site evaluation and / or by means of objective tests of the laboratory practices. The different functional systems detailed in the program will be assessed.

During the course, three blocks will be evaluated individually that will include the following contents:

 BLOCK 1 (General and cellular physiology, Physiology of the blood and hematopoietic organs, Physiology of the cardiovascular system)

 BLOCK 2 (Physiology of the respiratory system, Physiology of the excretory system and body fluids, Physiology of the digestive system and nutrition, Physiology of the endocrine and reproductive systems)

 BLOCK 3 (Physiology of the nervous system, Adaptation of the organism to environmental changes)

 To pass the subject the student must take a minimum of 5,0 in each block.

Continued assessment

There will be three partial exams during the course with the same format. The continuous evaluation of each BLOCK will consist of:

  AC1. Partial examination of each block, which will include:

      - multiple choice items to assess the THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE of the subject (60% of the overall grade of the block)
										
											      - written questions to evaluate the concepts related to CASE WORK in conjunction with THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE (30% of the overall grade of the block)
										
											       The grade of the partial exam will account for 90% of the overall grade of the block

AC2. Tests throughout the course on the knowledge gained in laboratory practices.
										
											        Evaluations of the laboratory practices that will be carried out through on-site tests and/or questionnaires carried out in the Moodle space, on the concepts achieved in these during the implementation of the practices.
										
											        The average of the evaluations obtained in the laboratory practices will account for 10% of the overall grade for each block.
										
											 
										
											To pass each block you will need a minimum of 5.0 (out of 10) in the partial exam (AC1) and a minimum of 5.0 in the overall grade of the block (90% partial exam (AC1) + 10% practical assessment laboratory (AC2)).
										
											To pass the subject you must have passed each of the blocks with a minimum of 5.0, and that the overall average of the grades obtained in each of the passed blocks is equal to or higher than 5.0.

Unique assessment

Students can take advantage of the single assessment system, according to the Faculty's regulations. The single assessment will be based on the same content of the subject programme, the acquisition of the same skills, and will have the same level of demand as the continuous assessment.
										
											The single assessment will be carried out on a single assessment date and will consist of the assessment of all the contents of the three blocks of the subject.
										
											For the evaluation of each block, an exam will be carried out that will consist of:
										
											AU1. Examination of theoretical concepts and case work of each block:
										
											      - multiple choice questions to assess the THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE of the subject (60% of the overall mark for each block)
										
											      - written questions to evaluate the concepts related to CASE WORK together with THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE (30% of the overall grade of the block)
										
											       The grade of the partial exam will account for 90% of the overall grade of the block.
										
											AU2. written questions related to LABORATORY PRACTICES (10% of the overall mark for each block)
										
											      The grade of the laboratory practice exam will account for 10% of the overall grade for each block.
										
											To pass each block, a minimum of 5.0 must be obtained from the AU1 part of each block and a minimum of 5.0 in the overall block grade (90% AU1 + 10% laboratory practical assessment (AU2)).
										
											To pass the subject you must have passed each of the blocks with a minimum of 5.0, and that the overall average of the grades obtained in each of the passed blocks is equal to or higher than 5.0.

Final recovery exam
										
											The final recovery exam will be shared by continuous assessment and single assessment students.
										
											In the event that the student does not meet the requirements (average of 5.0 in each block and overall mark of the block of 5.0), they will not release that block and must take a final recovery exam. The students must only present themselves in the blocks that they have not passed in the continuous evaluation of the same academic year.
										
											
The students who, having passed the continuous assessment or the single assessment of the subject, wish to take the final exam to improve their grade, must request it at the time the final exam call is published. The final grade will correspond to the highest grade obtained between the continuous assessment or the final recovery exam.
										
											The final recovery exam for each block will consist of the following sections:
										
											             - multiple choice questions to assess the THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE of the subject (60% of the overall grade for each block)
										
											             - written questions to assess the concepts related to CASE WORK together with THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE (30% of the overall grade for each block)
										
											             - multiple choice questions referring to LABORATORY PRACTICES (10% of the overall grade for each block)

										
											To pass each block it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the recovery exam
										
											To pass the subject it will be necessary to have passed the three blocks with a minimum of 5.0. In this case, the final grade will be the average of the grades obtained in each of the approved blocks.
										
											If one of the blocks in the recovery is not exceeded, the maximum global qualification obtained will be 4.8.
										
											 
										
											General considerations regarding evaluations
										
											Anyone who does not take one of the expressly scheduled exams during the continuous or single assessment or during recovery in the event that they have not passed a block/s previously will be considered "non-assessable".
										
											
Subsequent to the publication of the grades for each block and the final grades, a review will be called so that the students who so wish can review the exam and the grade obtained. The dates of these reviews will be previously announced on the virtual campus together with the publication of the grades.
										
											
In no case will the mark of any block of one course be kept by another, neither of the partials nor of the laboratory practices.
