Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Evaluation of the course will be individual and continuous through the next proves:

-       Individual learning by parcial exams.

-       Cooperative learning through forming activities during the seminar lessons.

The evaluation activities are:

Partial exams: Two partial exams are scheduled, at the end of Blocks I and III. Each test will be worth 40% of the final grade. They will be multiple choice exams with 5 options to choose one. In the correction, 1/5 of the value of each question will be subtracted for incorrect answers. The duration of each test will be a minimum of 2 hours. To weight the grades of the midterm exams, the student will have to obtain a minimum of 4 points in both midterms. The subject can be passed by partial exams as long as the average between the two tests and the PAUL is at least 5 (and 4 has been exceeded in both partial exams). The midterm exams are recoverable subjects..

PAUL reviews (REV): The students will carry out a bibliographic search and select reviews corresponding to different thematic blocks. The sessions will consist of the presentation of the topic by the group and solving the questions of the class and the teacher about it. The evaluation of the oral presentation will represent 10% of the final grade. The content, oral presentation, clarity of the slides and defense of the topic will be valued. The note will be individual..

PAUL cases (ABP): The cases are presented as cooperative work in groups of 7 students. They can be original articles on applied research on the immune response against pathogens or clinical cases. The final objective is to develop comprehensive self-learning capabilities, know how to clearly present a scientific work in public (introduction, statement of the hypothesis, presentation and interpretation of the results and discussion thereof), defend it with a critical spirit and propose relevant questions. on the different aspects (techniques, methodology, results, interpretations, possibilities for future development). The evaluation of the cases will represent 10% of the final grade and their oral presentation, the answer to questions about it and the posing of questions to another group will be evaluated. The grade will be given for the entire group and it will be the students who will have to distribute the grade depending on the effort and individual contribution to the group.

Retake exam: A final exam will be scheduled for students who have not obtained the minimum necessary (less than 5 in the total of the subject or less than 4 in any of the partial exams) or who want to raise their grade. The exam will have a value of 80% of the grade to which the grade percentage of the cases and the article will be added. This final exam will mainly consist of 40-50 multiple choice questions. The duration of the test will be a minimum of 2 hours.

Students who want to raise their grade in the final exam must renounce the grade they have in the midterm exams (corresponding to 80% of the final grade) and will keep the grade they get in the final exam.

To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equaling at least two thirds of the final score of the course or module. Thus, the student will be graded as "Not Evaluable" if the weighting of all conducted evaluation activities is less than 67% of the final score.

Unique assessment
										
											
										
											The total set of theory (80%) can be examined in a singlea ssessment on the day of the second part of the course.
										
											
										
											The same recovery system will be applied and on the same day as for the continuous assessment.
										
											
										
											The revision of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
The assessment of ABP (10%) and REV (10%) will be done in sessions in group, as in these cases, different transversal competencies will be evaluated which cannot be made individually in the unique assessment.
