Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Theoretical Classes
The evaluation of the theoretical content of the subject, corresponding to the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes, will be carried out through two written tests: one written test will account for 50% of the grade corresponding to the theoretical content of the subject, and another written test will account for 10% of the overall grade of the subject, related to problems in epidemiology. To pass this part of the subject, the average score of the two written tests must be equal to or greater than 5 points.

Seminars
Preparation and presentation of a report on a specific infectious disease. Students will prepare a report on a specific infectious disease (15% of the overall grade). They will give a public presentation of the report (20% of the overall grade).
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalties in the activity grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Attendance and Active Participation in Seminars
Attendance and active participation in seminars will account for 5% of the overall grade. Students must answer a series of questions about the report prepared for each seminar.
To pass the seminar part, a score equal to or greater than 5 points must be obtained.

To pass the subject, a minimum score of 5 points must be obtained in the evaluation of theoretical content and a minimum score of 5 points in the seminar part.
Students who do not achievethe minimum score in the theoretical part may take a recovery exam that will cover all theoretical content (both theory and problems), consisting of a written exam with a maximum score of 5 points.
Students who do not achieve the minimum score of 5 points in the seminar part may take a recovery consisting of the preparation and oral presentation of an epidemiological report plus a written exam on all seminars conducted by their classmates. This recovery will have a maximum score of 5 points.

To participate in the recovery, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject or module. Therefore, students will receive a "Not Assessable" grade when the evaluation activities carried out account for less than 67% of the final grade.

Single Evaluation
Students opting for single evaluation must submit the group work and present the seminar during in-person sessions, and it is a requirement to pass them. Attendance is mandatory. The evaluation and weight on the final grade will be the same as in continuous assessment.
The single evaluation consists of a single test covering the entire theoretical program and questions about the seminars attended. The score obtained in this test will be 60% of the final grade for the subject. The single evaluation test will be held on the same date scheduled in the calendar for the last continuous assessment test, and the same recovery system will apply.
