Whole group , 4 ECTS:

Lectures. In them, the teacher will explain the theoretical fundamentals of each topic and its importance in the thematic blocks. Students also will prepare applied seminars and develop work on issues related to the subject program, proposed by the teacher or by the student to get a better understanding of theoretical concepts. Debate will be encouraged by all students. The student will have access to the presentations of the issues along with other documents that will be of assistance and web page addresses Ilias platform.

 

Problems. Applied exercises will be proposed that will need the assimilation of basic theoretical concepts regarding the themes. Students will present their solutions either individually or collectively and will discuss the related implications

 

Small groups, 2 ECTS:

Practical classes. Practical sessions about serveral laboratory experiments related to the concepts explained in the theory classes will be performed. A detailed protocol will be available on the web platform Ilias, which explains the basis of the practice, and indicate the process that students must follow on their own to get the proposed objective. Students should make notes, calculations and short answer questions in order to learn how to organize their ideas, results and conclusions aware of their experiments.

 

The student will have access to several teaching materials, which includes text and study guide, prepared by the teachers of the course and designed for individual study and self-assessment. Similarly all information will be updated on Ilias platform.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

EVALUATION

We propose a continuous assessment system based on the score obtained in different activities to get a better measure of skills acquired by students. This will assess the following:

1-  Written tests for each of the blocks that make up the course syllabus. These reviews assess the acquisition of competencies, skills and expertise of the subject.

2- Resolution of the exercises in the classes of problems. These exercises will be solved in class by the students with the moderation of the discussions by the teacher.

3- Making practices. Take into account the student's attitude in the laboratory for laboratory practices, their interest in learning the techniques and skills with them.

  The specific skills of the course will be jointly evaluated through these three activities.

4- The evaluation of seminars and debates will complete the evaluation system, obtaining a measure of the capacity for analysis and synthesis of each student in literature search activities, scientific analysis, synthesis capacity, and teamwork. This will allow an assessment of generic skills for Biology degree.

 A f inal exam will fully evaluate the course, for those students who do not pass each course and for the extraordinary calls, which reassess   paragraphs 1 and 2. Evaluation obtained will be maintained for activities 3 and 4, that will add a balanced way to the final exam.
