In order to evaluate the level of assimilation of knowledge, as well as the capacity to relate concepts, critical reasoning and other transversal competences, a series of evaluative activities of different typologies will be carried out.
These evaluative activities will be identical for both the continuous evaluation system and the single evaluation system.

Continuous evaluation

Evaluation of the theory module (75%):

It will consist of two evaluative activities of different typologies.

1) Individual evaluation by means of pot-type questions (multiple-choice).

2) Individual evaluation by means of short open-ended questions relating several sections of the program, on the use of knowledge to interpret experimental results or to propose the most appropriate techniques to reach the objectives set out in the question.

There will be no minimum grade to make the average between the two types of evaluative activities and to obtain the final grade of the theory module.
The overall weight of the theory module will be 75% of the final grade of the course, and the test will be given on the date scheduled in the calendar.
This test may be recovered on the day set for the recovery of the subject

Evaluation of problems module (25%).

An individual evaluation will be carried out by means of a written test. It will consist of the resolution of 2 problems posed by the teacher of the same type as those worked during the formative activity of problems.
The weight of this test will be 25% of the final grade of the course and will be done on the date scheduled in the calendar.
This test may be recovered on the day set for the recovery ofthe subject.

 

Single Evaluation

Theory module evaluation (75%):

The single evaluation test of this module will be the same as in the continuous evaluation and will be done coinciding with the same date set in calendar as in the continuous evaluation.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.


Problem module evaluation  (25%).

The written test of single evaluation of this module will be the same and will have the same weight as in the continuous evaluation (25%).
It will coincide with the same date fixed in the calendar as in the continuous evaluation, and the same recovery system will be applied as in the continuous evaluation.

 

General considerations for the two continuous and single evaluation systems

• The evaluation of the modules of Theory and Problems are inseparable, and in order to pass the course, the student must participate and be evaluated in both modules.
• The written tests of theory and problems will be taken together on the dates scheduled and already fixed in the calendar.
• The grade is obtained by the weighted average of each of the modules. In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a final grade equal or higher than 5.
• Students who do not pass the two tests together with a grade equal to or higher than 5 will be able to recover them on the date scheduled for the recovery exam at the end of the semester.
• To participate in the recovery, the student must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subjectormodule.
• The student will obtain the grade of "Not Evaluable" when the evaluation activities carried out have a weight of less than 67% in the final grade.
• Students who wish to improve their grade may take the grade improvement exam at the end of the semester, which will take place on the date scheduled for the make-up exam. Students who take the make-up exam will forfeit the grade obtained in the written tests taken during the course.
• Students who cannot attend an individual evaluation test for justified cause and provide the corresponding official documentation to the grade coordination, will have the right to take the test in question on another day. The coordination of the degree will ensure the concretion of this with the professor of the affected subject.
• Any aspect not covered in this guide will follow the evaluation regulations of the Faculty of Biosciences.
