The contents of this subject connect with the third Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations: Guarantee a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages.

The teaching of Human Biochemistry and Microbiology subject in the Nursing Degree will be marked by the following training activities and methodologies:

- Theory classes in a large group (maximum 75 students) in which the teacher will present the theoretical fundaments of the different topics. Support material will be provided (texts, images, videos), and will be available on the University's Virtual Teaching platform (PLATEA), in the library or on the Internet. Students are encouraged to discuss, participate and attend the tutorials to ask any questions that may arise.

- Practical classes in small groups will be carried out in the teaching laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Microbiology Areas. Students will have, in advance, a practice notbook in which they appear detailled the objectives, fundament, material and reagents to be used and their preparation, protocols to follow, tables for data collection and advices for its correct processing and obtaining the final results. The notbook also contains a questionnaire at the end of each practice.

This methodology will allow the students to acquire all the skills of the subject.

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

The percentage of each part of the final mark is as follows: 75.0% evaluation of theoretical knowledge, 10.0% evaluation of exercises / assignments and 15.0% evaluation of practical knowledge. Given that the subject as a whole consists of two parts; Human Biochemistry and Microbiology, at least a score of 4.0 points must be obtained in each part to obtain the final average of the subject. Otherwise, it will be understood that the subject is not passed. In the case of not doing the practices of the subject, a test must be taken in the next call of the same academic year. In addition, individual marks of neither of the two parts of the subject will not be kept in the following course; the student will have to study the subject in its entirety and in all its sections.

I.- TEACHING MET HODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

II.- EVALUATION SYSTEM

Assessment will be carried out through the delivery of theoretical and practical activities by the students using the Virtual Teaching Platform of the University of Jaén (PLATEA), which will account 50% of the final mark. An online synchronous final test will also be carried out through the PLATEA Platform or the Google Forms application, on the date established by the Faculty of Health Sciences for each of the official calls, which will account 50% of the final mark. Given that the subject as a whole consists of two parts; Human Biochemistry and Microbiology, at least a score of 4.0 marks must be obtained in each part to obtain the final average of the subject. Otherwise, it will be understood that the subject is not passed. In the case of not doing the practices of the subject, a test must be taken in the next call of the same academic year. In addition, individual marks of neither of the two parts of the subject will not be kept in the following course; the student will have to study the subject in its entirety and in all its sections.

III.- RESOURCES

The computer resources provided by the University of Jaén (PLATEA, Google Meet, other Google applications: Docs, Slides, Calendar, Drive) and the electronic bibliographic resources available in the library of the University of Jaén.
