Assessment (learning evidences)

The subject will be assessed based on the following learning evidences:

EV1. There are three evidences, corresponding to a 34% of the final grade, and include contents of Behavioural genetics (Section A). The evidences are:

           EV1a (17% of the final grade): Continuous work to solve Behavioural genetics cases corresponding to Section A. This work will be carried out both individually and as a group throughout several sessions in the classroom (½ group seminars), as well as autonomously outside the classroom. Timing: Continuously throughout the semester, with ongoing close interactions between the whole group classes (master classes) and the ½ group seminars of this section.

            EV1b (8.5% of the grade): Individual written exam. This will assess knowledge of Block B content taught up to that point, using multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Timing: First evaluation week.

            EV1c (8.5% of the grade): Individual written exam. This will assess knowledge of Block B content taught up to that point, using multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Timing: Second evaluation week.

The EV1a grade (ongoing work) will only be taken into account if the combined grade of EV1b and EV1c is at least 4.5 out of 10. If this requirement is met, the overall grade for Block A will be calculated using the weighted sum of EV1a + EV1b + EV1c.

Return of EV1a, EV1b, and EV1c: 

• EV1a: Feedback will be provided continuously during the practical sessions.

• EV1b: Classroom tutorial. Week 10 (EV1b)

• EV1c: Tutorial. Week 26 (EV1c)

EV2. It includes 2 evidences, with a global weight of 66% of the final grade, and it corresponds to Section B of Neuroanatomy. The evidences are:

• EV2a (25% of the grade): Individual written exam. This will assess knowledge of Block B content taught up to that point, using multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Timing: First evaluation week.
  Return of EV2a: In the large group class session after the assessment has been completed and once it has been graded. Week 10

          EV2b (41% of the grade): Individual written exam. This will assess comprehension and integration of the full content of Block B, using multiple-choice and open-ended questions.Timing: Second evaluation week.

 

       

 

            Return of EV2b: During a tutorial after the grades have been published. Week 26

The overall grade for Block B will be calculated using the weighted average of the grades from EV2a and EV2b.

Definition of "Passed Subject" and Final Grade Calculation

A student will be considered to have passed the subject when both of the following conditions are met:
a) They have achieved a minimum score of 5 out of 10 in the weighted average of both blocks.
b) They have obtained a minimum of 4.5 out of 10 in both Block A and Block B.

If both conditions are met, the final grade will be the weighted sum of both blocks.
If condition (b) is not met, the final grade will also be calculated using the weighted sum of both blocks, but with an upper limit of 4.5 (i.e., if the weighted average exceeds 4.5, the final grade will be 4.5 instead of the actual result).

Definition of Non-Assessable

Students who have not performed any of the assessment tests or have completed learning evidences with a weight lower than 40% for the whole subject will be marked as NA (Non-Assessable).

Resit Exams

All resit-related informationapplies equally to students who followed continuous assessment and those who opted for single assessment.

Students will be eligible to sit the resit exam(s) if they meet both of the following conditions:

• They have completed assessment activities accounting for at least 66.7% of the total grade. Students who complete between 40% and 66.6%will be assessable but not eligible for resits.

• They did not meet the passing criteria but achieved a grade equal to or above 3.5 and below 5 out of 10 in the overall subject.

There will be two types of resit exams, one for Block A and one for Block B. Students who meet the above criteria must take the resit for the block(s) in which they scored below 4.5/10.
Students who did not pass the subject despite having scores equal to or above 4.5 inboth blocks may choose to take the resit exam for one or both blocks.

• Block A Resit:A written exam consisting of general content questions, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions from the entire Block A.

• Block B Resit: A written exam on the entire content of Block B, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions.

The requirements for passing the subject and the final grade calculation after the resits are the same as in the “Definition of Passed Subject and Final Grade Calculation” section, except that if thesubject is passed in the resit, the final grade recorded will be a 5.

Single Assessment

Requesting a single assessment implies waiving the right to continuous assessment.
The single assessment will be held on the same day and in the same location as the second evaluation period exam, and it will cover all content of the subject. It will consist of two written exams: one covering all content from Block A (EV1; 34% of the grade), and another covering all content from Block B (EV2; 66% of the grade).
Duration: 3 hours and 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break between the two exams.

The final grade will be calculated as described in the “Definition of Passed Subject and Final Grade Calculation” section.

The single assessment must be requested online (e-form, more information on the faculty website) during the designated period.
Itis recommended that students contact the subject coordinator at least two weeks before the single assessment.

Students registered for the second (or more) time

No unique final synthesis test for students who enroll for the second time or more is anticipated.

Language note

Written exams will be conducted primarily in Catalan. The translated version of the in-person assessment tests will be provided if the requirements set out in Article 263 are met and the request is submitted online (E-Form) during week 4.
