Classroom sessions. These will cover the teoretical fundamentals of the course, and will be evaluated in the exam.

Autonomous learning- MOODLE activities. During the 8 weeks of the course, the instructor will propose several activities, to be performed autonomously. Students will deliver the outcome of these activities through the MOODLE platform. The activities proposed will range from visualisation and completion of tutorials, execution of procedures or questionnaires, depending on the subject matter. In general terms, activities will have a close relationship or will be complemetary to the problems and theoretical aspects of the computer lab and classroom sessions. It might be necessary that students perform a specific activity on MOODLE previously to a particular computer lab session, in order to fully benefit from it.

Autonomous learning: Study.

Computer lab sessions. These will be focused into the practical aspects of the course, and it is expected that students will become proficient in data search, procedural aspects and in the analysis of the information obtained by the predictors and databases covered throughout the lessons. The approach will be dynamic, and problems will be solved during the development of each session. Aspects covered in computer lab sessions will be evaluated in the exam.

Tutorial sessions. Individual or small group sessions, focused in doubts related to the course. Upon demand from students. Date/hourto be agreed with the instructor.

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.

There will be three different evaluation types:

1) Exams. There wil be two exams. Each exam will evaluate theoretical and applied concepts respectively, covered during the sessions and can include: short questions, questionnaires or data analysis tasks or results proposed by the instructor. Each exam will contribute a 45% of the final mark, and will be solved individually by each student. In order to pass the exams, the mark must be equal or higher than 5/10 in each exam, and it will be possible to retake it at the programmed date at the end of the semester.

2) Delivery of tasks through MOODLE. All activities will weigh in total a 10% of the final mark. It will not be possible to retake any of them if they are delivered after the deadline or the student fails in any of them.

Each student must accomplish both the following criteria, in order to pass the course:

a) Pass the exams with a mark that is equal or higher than 5/10 and,

b) Obtain a mark that is equal to or higher than 5/10, after doing the weighted average of all four evaluation activities (exam, MOODLE, case study evaluated by instructor and by peers).

Retaking the exam and improving your mark

Those students who fail the exam can retake it on the planned date at the end of the semester. The text will have a similar format than the first exam. Those who wish to improve their marks can sit again for it, but specifically withdraw their former mark. In that case, the difficulty of the exam could be higher than for those students who failed. Students wishing to sit again for the exam must inform the instructor at least 48 h before the date, in order to plan the logistics (number of rooms needed, etc). Both exams will be revised on a date and place announced by the instructor, between 1 and 7 working days from the publication of the marks. Those students that are not able to attend the exam(s) due to a justified cause and provide the corresponding documentation to the Degree Coordinator, will have the right to sit for an exam on another date. The test might combine the resolution of problems with an oral exam. The Degree Coordinator will see for the practical implementation of that with the instructor. Any other aspect that is not specifically covered in this guide, will follow the general regulations for evaluation of the Bioscience Faculty. In order to retake the exam, students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities that amount for two thirds of the total weight of the subject. Therefore, when evaluated activities are less than 67% of the total weight, the student will receive the \"No Avaluable\" mark.

This subject does not foresee the single evaluation or "avaluació única".

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.
