Theoretical lectures:

The basic concepts of the syllabus will be introduced. Whenever possible, audiovisual and interactive material to help understand concepts will be used. This material will be available in Moodle before the theoretical sessions are held

Practical excercises:

The teacher and the students will solve problems related to the subject exposed in the theory classes. The problems will be proposed by the teacher from the proposed problems available in a collection of exercises available in Moodle. The latter will also allow autonomous student learning through the autonomous resolution of exercises out of the seminar sessions.

Tutories:

Individual sessions or small groups for the resolution of doubts related to the subject.

Homework:

Knowledge will be achieved through autonomous learning by students based on literature searches and the realization of a homework in group

The use of AI is permitted to improve the drafting and style of the reports and homeworks. However, generating original content with AI is strictly prohibited. If AI tools are used, their use must be explicitly declared, and it must be clearly identified within the report what they were used for.

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.

A) Continuous evaluation:

- Three partial exams that will count 84% of the final mark

- A group homework that will count 16% of the final mark

The scheduling of the assessment activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the web of the faculty of biosciences.

B) Recovery test:

The group homework is not recoverable.

The student can submit to recovery test whenever it has been presented to a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. Of these, students who have an average qualification of all the activities of the subject superior to 3,5 on 10 will be able to present to the recovery final test.

Only students who fail the continuous evaluation can submit the recovery test.

The synthesis exam (recovery) includes the entire contents of the subject.

C) Procedure for the revision of the qualifications:

For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims can be made about the activity note, which will be evaluated by the teachers responsible for the subject. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

D) Qualifications:

The MH qualification is a decision of the lecturers responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total students enrolled.

A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if it has not been presented in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

E) Irregularity in an assessment activity

Committing any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or misuse of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the teaching guide) that could lead to a significant variation in the grade, will result in this activity being graded as 0. In the event that the teaching guide specifies that passing the subject requires a minimum grade in that particular assessment activity, or if multiple irregularities occur across different assessment activities within the same subject, the final grade for the subject will be 0. Aside from this, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
