Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

This subject does not provide the single assessment system

In this subject, each thematic block (Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Histology) is evaluated independently in two calls.

The first evaluation will be done at the end of each thematic block. The final grade of the subject will be the average of the grades of the three thematic blocks. In order to average, at least two of the three modules must have been passed with a 5 or higher, and the remaining module must have a grade equal to or higher than 4. The subject will be passed if the score resulting from the average of the three modules is equal to or greater than 5.
All those who do not comply with this premise must take a second exam. In this second call, the three thematic blocks will be evaluated independently in a single session. Students may choose which module or modules they want to take the exam, in order to be able to fulfill the previous premise.
Students who want to improve their mark on the midterm exams may also apply for this call. Applying for the grade improvement means giving up the grade obtained in the partial. The notes for each thematic block can be improved independently.

From the second enrollment onwards, repeat students will only have to be assessed on specific blocks that have not been passed. This exemption will be maintained for a period of three additional registrations.

Evaluation system:

THEORY: Written evaluation using objective tests, multiple selection items or essay tests Restricted questions with an approximate global weight between 70 and 80%.

PRACTICE: Evaluation of practical sessions and practical cases using objective tests

Writings, test tests for restricted questions, which are complemented with item proofs

Multiple choice or alternate response items with an approximate weight ofbetween 10 and 25%.

Attendance and active participation in class and seminars, with an approximate global weight of 5%.

Failure to attend any orall of the parts of the final exam will correspond to a final grade of "No evaluable ".

- Evaluation of Biochemistry:

THEORY:

- Final exam, which can represent between 70-100% of the final mark. This exam includes a multi-answer test and a part of conceptual questions / problems. The average of the two sides gives the note of the exam.

SEMINARS:

- Continuous assessment exercises associated with the seminars, which can represent between 0-30% of the final note. Only the continuous evaluation note will be considered when it is higher than the grade of the final exam, and therefore helps to increase the final grade.

The final mark of the Biochemistry module will have a value of 33.3% of the mark of the subject.

- Evaluation of cell biology:

THEORY and SEMINARS:

The evaluation consists of a final exam, which may consist of a multi-answer test, with a single correct answer, and / or short reasoning questions, which corresponds to 60% of the grade. In order to pass the Cell Biology module in the first call, the mark of this exam must be higher than 5. If the grade is less than 5, you can choose to recover the module in the recovery exam. This may be a multiple-choice exam or an exam of short conceptual questions. This recovery exam also allows, to students who so wish, to improve the grade obtained in the final exam. In the latter case, taking this exam means renouncing the mark of the first multiple-choice exam.
CLASSROOM PRACTICE:

1. The evaluation of the bibliographic work on diseases corresponds to 40% of the grade. The teamwork carried out in the public oral presentation of one of the proposed diseases (40% of the totalactivity), the degree of assumption of contents of the disease developed by the student's group (40% of the total activity), and the degree of assumption of contents of the other diseases developed in the same academic year by the other groups (20% of thetotal activity) will be valued- This last point will be qualified based on a test of 10 to 12 multi-answer questions, to be carried out on the same day of the final exam. In cases of second or subsequent enrollment, it is not necessary to re-carry out the activity, as long as the grade has been equal to or greater than 5. In these cases, the qualification obtained in the bibliographic work on diseases in previous courses will be applied to the calculation of the final grade. That is, the note of the activity is saved to the repeaters.
The final grade of the Cell Biology module will have a value of 33.3% of the grade of the subject.

Histology Evaluation

THEORETICAL EXAM (50%)

• Final exam consisting of true/false questions and image interpretation questions. To pass the partial exam, a minimum grade of 5 is required.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES (50%)

• Moodle Classroom: Continuous assessment exercises associated with the seminars to be completed through the Moodle and/or Teams platform, accounting for 20% of the grade.

• Practicals: Continuous assessment tests, conducted during the practical sessions of the subject, covering theoretical concepts and image interpretation. These account for 30% of the grade.

To pass the module of the subject (Partial exam + continuous assessment activities), it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements for each part and obtain a minimum grade of 5, after applying the corresponding percentages. If the theoretical exam is not passed, a final exam with the same characteristics as the partial exam will be conducted.

The final grade of the Histology module will constitute 33.3% of the overall grade for the subject.
