Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Attendance at practicals is compulsory and therefore an absence without a justified reason may lead to the non-evaluation of one or more modules.
 Justified cause means health problems (you will need to bring the corresponding medical certificate to the internship coordinator) or serious personal problems. In this case, the practice is to recover whenever possible. 
If the justified absences exceed 25% of the sessions of any of the modules, the subject will be graded as Not Assessable.

Genomics Module
The practices will be evaluated by delivering the results obtained during the practice that will have to be presented in a clear and understandable way.
The correction of the data obtained will be assessed. The attitude and work of the student in the classroom will also be taken into account.

Human Genetics Module
The practices will be evaluated by delivering the questions of the practice script and the results obtained during the practice. The interpretation that is made of the obtained data will be valued especially. The attitude and work of the student in the laboratory will also be taken into account.

Quantitative Genetics Module
At the end of each practical session, students’ level of achievement will be assessed through the completion of exercises, the preparation of a report, or any other form of evidence indicated by the instructor in charge. The assessment will consider the accuracy in solving the proposed questions, the clarity of the comments and conclusions, as well as the formal presentation. The student’s attitude during the practical sessions will also be evaluated.

To pass the course, it is necessary to first approve each module with a mark ≥ 5. Students who do not pass the different modules of the coursewill have the opportunity to retake them on the scheduled resit date.

Any student who has not passed a module after the resit assessment will not pass the course. However,  repeat students will not be required to complete the learning activities or assessments for any module already passed, starting from their second enrollment. Repeat students will only need to be assessed on the specific module(s) not yet passed. This exemption will remain valid for up to three additional enrollments.

The final grade is the average of the grades from each module.

Not graded: The Not graded qualification will be obtained when the number of assessment activities performed is less than 50% of the programmed ones.

To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equalling at least two thirds of the final score of the course or module.
Thus, the student will be graded as "No Avaluable" if the weigh thin of all conducted evaluation activities is less than 67% of the final score.

Attendance to practical sessions is mandatory. Students missing more than 25% of programmed sessions will be graded as "No Avaluable". 

Students who take the single assessment must do the laboratory practices in face-to-face sessions, as they are teaching activities with compulsory attendance. 
This unique assessment system will be applied to modules 1 (Genomics), 2 (Human Genetics) and 3 (Quantitative Genetics and Improvement), and will consist of a unique synthesis test on the contents of the practices plus the delivery of the 'report or report on the practices. 
The grade obtained in the synthesis test is 50% of the grade of the corresponding module. The report or memory will be the remaining 50% and can be delivered on the same date set forthe continuous assessment or coinciding with the date of the single synthesis test.
										
											If the practice is done with a partner (partner)who is not included in the single assessment, the delivery of the (joint) report will be on the same date set for the continuous assessment.
										
											The single assessment test will take place on a date agreed between the students, the subject coordinator and those responsible for each module. 
The same criterion will be applied to approve the subject and the same recovery system as for the continuous assessment. The review of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
