COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY   Lab sessions including wet-lab procedures in Cellular Biology and Histology, and diagnosis of histological sections.  Seminars: Nine reports focused on given issues of the program contents using web based multimedia approaches with on-line assessments. On-line tutorials.

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

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY   Two assessments of the theoretical contents, with a possible additional assessment in June to those students with a final mark under 5 (over 10) at any of them.  Continuous assessment of the practical contents and seminars, with a final oral or written presentation.  Assessment of the microscopical examination of tissue sections.  Practical sessions are mandatory.

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.
