The subject consists of theoretical classes, seminars for the resolution of practical cases and scientific articles, problems and tutoring sessions. The following describes the organization and the teaching methodology that will be followed in these three types of training activities.

Theory:

The content of the theory program will be taught mainly by the teacher in the form of master classes with audiovisual support. Presentations used in class by the teacher will be previously available on the Virtual Campus of the subject. It is recommended that students print this material and take it to class, to use it as a support when taking notes. It is recommended that students regularly consult the books recommended in the Bibliography section of this teaching guide in order to consolidate and clarify, if necessary, the contents explained in class.

Seminars and problems:

The objective of the seminars and the problem sessions is to connect theory sessions with practical work, promoting active learning to develop the ability to analyze and synthesize, critical reasoning, and problem-solving ability. The seminars and problems are sessions with a small number of students (maximum 40 students). Their goal is to deepen or complete the knowledge exposed in the theory sessions by solving problems, discussing case studies and scientific literature. Students will receive periodic readings recommended in English, problems and cases to solve, web addresses to consult, bioinformatics tools, etc.

Tutoring:

There will be up to 3 tutoring sessions in small group with the teacher. In these sessions the doubts raised by the students about the theoretical program topics will be resolved, and they will facilitate the comprehension of specific aspects of the subject.

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through a series of activities of continuous assessment, a partial exam and a review of recovery, corresponding to each of the two parts of the subject: Genomics and Proteomics / Interactomics. The weight of each part of the subject is 50% on the final grade. When beginning the classes of each part of the subject, the corresponding professor will detail how he will carry out the continuous evaluation. Below is the weight of the different tests and activities:

- Genomic Partial test 35%

- Proteomic Partial test 35%

- Genomics problems 10%

- Proteomics seminars 10%

- Joint project 10%

- Optional bonus 10%

The partial exams will consist of questions of type test and of short answer or problems. These tests will be eliminatory of matter.

The joint project consists of a joint assignment where knowledge and tools corresponding to both parts of the subject must be applied to solve the proposed exercises.

It will only be average with those qualifications that are> = 4.0.

In each part of the course, you will have the option to complete an additional activity, either during the term or on the day of the corresponding midterm exam. This activity can add a bonus of up to 1 point to your final grade (0.5 for each part of the course). The bonus will be applied only if your overall grade for the course is 5 points or higher.

Retake exam

Those students who do not exceed the minimum qualification of one or both partial tests must present themselves to the retake exam, if they meet the following requirement: To participate in the recovery, the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject or module. Therefore, students will obtain the \"Non-Valuable\" qualification when the assessment activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final grade.

Grade improvement

The retake exam will also be open to any student who, having passed the partial tests, wishes to improve the score obtained in one or both partial tests. In this case, the student will have to notify the corresponding professors of their interest in presenting themselves to the retake examenandwill have to renounce the grade previously obtained. The degree of difficulty of the test grade improvement may be higher than the partial assessments.

Qualification

The subject is considered approved if the final grade is equal or greater than 5.0 points.

For the purposes of qualification, the student will be considered as non-evaluable when the assessment activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final grade.

Single assessment

The single assessment consists of a single synthesis test that includes the entire theory program of the subject. It will be carried out on the day fixed in the calendar for the second partial test. The exam will consist of quiz questions, problems, short questions, and definitions. The grade obtained in this synthesis test will account for 70% of the final grade of the subject.

Students taking the single assessment can hand in all the evidence corresponding to the Genomics problems (from a collection specific for the single assessment students) on the day of the synthesis test. On the same day, the joint project done individually, or in a group where all students are accepted for the single assessment, will be delivered. The grade for the problems and the joint project will account for 20% of the final grade of the subject.

The evaluation of the proteomics seminars will follow the same process as the continuous evaluation. The grade obtained will account for 10% of the final grade of the subject.

The retake exam will be the same as that of students in the continuous assessment and will only incorporate theory content. The rest of the evaluations are not suitable for the retake.

The weight of each part of the subject and the criteria for passing it are the same as for students in the continuous assessment.

Use of AI

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for [support tasks, such as literature searches or information gathering, text editing, or translations or other activities approved by the teaching staff. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this gradable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total grade penalty for the activity, or major sanctions in severe cases.

Irregularities during the assessment

Any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or unauthorized use of AI, unless such use is explicitly permitted in the course syllabus) that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade will result in a mark of 0 for that assessment. If the course syllabus establishes a minimum grade in that assessment as a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities are committed in assessment activities for the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student involved in such irregularities.
