This is an elective course that should be taken preferably in the fourth year or in summer after having finalized the scheduled activities of the third year or fourth year of the degree.

The stay can be made in one of three possible periods (summer, first semester and second semester). The duration of each period will be made public every academic year on the website of the Faculty of Biosciences, section “Work Placement in Companies or Institutions”.

The student will find all the information related to this course and how to formalize the request for a position, and all the procedures arising from the award of a position, on the Faculty website, in the section \"Work Placement in Companies or Institutions\".

Each academic year, the Faculty of Biosciences will organize a general informative session for third and fourth year students of this Faculty’s degrees.

The course assessment will include the following items:

-Final written report prepared by the student (weight in the final score: 40%).

-Report on the student’s performance issued by the tutor (weight in the final score: 60%). The tutor has the power over the student's assessment, which can only be modified in cases where strong evidence of its impartiality is presented.

The students must write a final report of their internship and deliver it electronically to the member of the teaching team assigned as evaluator, no later than 15 days after the end of the stay. In exceptional cases, which must be authorized by the course coordinator, this period can be extended up to a maximum of 30 days.

The details on the preparation, extension and contents of the report, and the assesment criteria, are published in the Regulations of the subject (“Normativa”), on the Faculty of Biosciences website, section \"Work Placement in Companies or Institutions\". The correct use of English has a value of a maximum of 0.5 additional points within the assessment of the final report.

Total or partial plagiarism in the development of the report will result in a 0 in this part.

In order for the student to be assessed, the course coordinator must receive the tutor's assessment report and the written report prepared by the student. If any of these requirements is not met, the student's grade will be \"Not evaluated\".

This subject does not include the single assessment system.

Use of artificial intelligence

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed in a restricted way. It can be used exclusively for support tasks, such as literature or information search, proofreading or translations. The student should clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. The non-transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in cases of severity.

Irregularities in evaluation acts

The performance of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or misuse of AI), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide provides that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this assessment act or that there are various irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be instituted for the student who incurs in any of these irregularities.
