Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Attendance at all field trips, laboratory and computer sessions are mandatory for overcome the subject.

First trip paper (30% of the final grade)

It will be done for each team of 4-5 people who have worked together in field and consist of a scientific article with the data obtained in the field work.

A first version of the work is corrected by the teacher and scored over 10. The results of the correction with some suggestions for improvement is communicated to the Students, Then the student can accept this first mark or they may voluntarily submit a second version to improve the mark The mark of the second version, which can not exceed three points of the first version, is the definitive mark

A final “visum” test (20% of the final grade)

The student finishes the subject with a list of organisms that he / she must know how to identify from \"visu\" At the end of the semester there will be a test written where it is necessary to recognize, from images or samples, some of these organisms.

Oral presentation related to the field trip 2 (25% of the final grade)

It will be necessary to make a small oral presentation of half an hour (including questions) for teams of 4 students who have worked together in the field highlighting the biodiversity observed in the studied area

Learning Portfolio (15% of the final grade)

This consists of the assessment of a series of tasks and learning evidence based on the work completed during field trips, laboratory sessions, or computer lab practices. These tasks can be carried out during the scheduled activities or later on independently outside of class time. Each student, individually or in a group, will prepare and submit them by the established deadlines. The teaching staff will provide information about each task well in advance so that students can plan their work accordingly.

Field Notebook (10% of the final grade)

This refers to a notebook where each student, individually, will take notes on observations or data, and include drawings or sketches related to what was observed during the two field trips. The notebook must be submitted after completing the Visum and will be assessed by the teaching staff.

Student observation guide (add a value between -2 and 1 to the note)

The aim of this observation guide is to identify if the students reach attitudinal competences (CT14, CT17, CT19 and CT20 in section 5) through the observation by the different teachers. The maximum negative grade will also be applied, depending on the criteria of teachers, in those cases of non-compliance with the basic rules of coexistence in field trips.

Minimum note to pass the subject

To pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a global average mark equal to or higher than 4,9 and a mark equal to or higher than 3.5 in paper, final visum, oral presentation and learning portfolio.

The students will obtain the grade of \"Not Evaluable\" when the evaluation activities carried out have a weight of less than 67% in the final grade

\"The students will obtain the Not Evaluable\" rating when your absence is greater than 20% of the scheduled sessions

Being an eminently practical subject and the fact that most of the assessments are in groups, it is impossible to apply any single assessment mechanism.

Important

On this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as literature or information searches, text editing, or translation. For each assignment, students must clearly identify the sections generated using these technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they have influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or full reduction of the activity grade, or more severe disciplinary sanctions in cases of serious misconduct.

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (academic misconduct, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus) that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade will result in that activity being graded as 0. If the course syllabus stipulates that obtaining a minimum mark in this assessment is an essential requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who incurs any of these irregularities
