Anatomy module

Two partial evaluations are scheduled. Each one includes a test corresponding to the theoretical content and a practical exam

 

Evaluation contents

First partial assessment:

• Test: Topics 1-3
• Practical exam: Practices 1 and 2

Second partial assessment:

• Test: Topics 4-7
• Practical exam: Practices 3 and 4.

 

Features of the exams:

• Test: Will consist of test type questions with possible options and only one valid answer. Each incorrect answer will have a penalty of 1/3 point. Blank answers will not be penalized. Test exams represent 75% of the weight of the partial evaluation.
• Practical exams: In these exams, the student will have to name and identify anatomical structures in pictures from the material used in the practice lessons. Incorrect answers are not penalized. Neither do blank answers. The practical exams represent 25% of the weight of the partial evaluation.

 

Histology module

• Continuous evaluation of the PAULS: At the end of each subject, an evaluation will be carried out in the same session. These evaluations will represent the 25% of the histology module qualification.
• Final exam: It will consist of a test-type exam that will be carried out together with the second partial exam of anatomy. This exam will correspond to 75% of the qualification of the module.

 

Calculation of the qualification and sufficiency criteira:

• The anatomy module will correspond to the 80% of the final qualification.
• The histology module will correspond to the 20% of the final qualification.

The following formulas will be used to calculate the qualifications:

• Anatomy first partial evaluation = (Test score x 0.75) + (Practical exam score x 0.25)
• Anatomy second partial evaluation = (Test score x 0.75) + (Practical exam score x 0.25)
• Anatomy module qualification = (first partial score + second partial score) /2
• Histology module qualification = (continuous assessment score x 0.25) + (final exam score x 0.75)
• Final qualification = (anatomy module score x 0.8) + (histology module score x 0.2)

 

Sufficiency criteria

To approve the subject, the following conditions must be met:

• Obtain a final score equal to or higher than 5.0
• The qualification for the anatomy and histology modules cannot be lower than 4.0

The student will be considered non-evaluable if the weight of the tests he/she has taken is less than 40% of the total of the subject.

 

Recovery evaluation/Scores Improvement

Students who have not achieved the sufficiency of the subject during the course, or who, having obtained it, want to improve their score, can re-examine those tests or practical exams that they decide whenever and when they end up meeting the sufficiency criteria previously specified. The test characteristics the same than previously specified. The scores obtained in the recovery test/qualification improvement will replace those obtained in the partial assessments whenever and wherever it is higher than this. Otherwise, the score obtained initially will be maintained.

The continuous assessment of the histology module is not subject to recovery

 

Single evaluation

Students who wish to can take the single assessment modality. To do so, they must apply in accordance with the procedures and deadlines specified by the Faculty of Medicine's Academic Management.

 

Single evaluation procedure

Students who opt for the single assessment procedure will be examined on the day set for the recovery tests of the continuous assessment. They will have to take the exams corresponding to the anatomy and histology modules. These exams will be the same as the recovery exams. The sufficiency criteria are also the same as in the case of continuous assessment.

• Test exam equivalent to the first part (T1): Anatomy (Subjects 1-3)
• First partial equivalent practical exam (P1): Practices 1 and 2
• Second partial equivalent test (T2): Anatomy (Subjects 4-7)
• Second partial equivalent practical exam (P2): Practices 3 and 4.
• Histology module exam

In the case of the single assessment, the following formulas will be applied to calculate the scores

• Anatomy module note: (Note T1 x 0.375) + (Note P1 x 0.125) + (Note T2 x 0.375) + (Note P2 x 0.125)
• Final qualification: (Anatomy module score x 0.8) + (Histology exam score x 0.2)

 

Recovery test of the single assessment

Those students who do not approve the subject will be able to choose to retake those suspended exams that they decide, as long as and when they end up passing the sufficiency criteria indicated in the point. In these cases, the theoretical recovery exams will be of a non-test type. The practical make-up exams will be of the same characteristics.
