Theoretical classes. The student must acquire the scientific-technical knowledge of this subject attending these classes and complementing them with the personal study of the topics explained. The teaching of each subject will be based on a theoretical exposition and in a brief discussion of the same.

Seminars.  Attendance at all seminars is mandatory. In the seminars, students will work in collaborative or cooperative groups to prepare information on current issues in infectious diseases and making an oral presentation.

Tutorials. Students can take individual tutorials with the teacher of the subject, whenever they need it, requesting a prior appointment.

Theoretical Classes

The evaluation of the theoretical content of the subject, corresponding to the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes, will be carried out through two written tests: one written test will account for 50% of the grade corresponding to the theoretical content of the subject, and another written test will account for 10% of the overall grade of the subject, related to problems in epidemiology. To pass this part of the subject, the average score of the two written tests must be equal to or greater than 5 points.

Seminars

Preparation and presentation of a report on a specific infectious disease. Students will prepare a report on a specific infectious disease (15% of the overall grade). They will give a public presentation of the report (20% of the overall grade).

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalties in the activity grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Attendance and Active Participation in Seminars

Attendance and active participation in seminars will account for 5% of the overall grade. Students must answer a series of questions about the report prepared for each seminar.

To pass the seminar part, a score equal to or greater than 5 points must be obtained.

To pass the subject, a minimum score of 5 points must be obtained in the evaluation of theoretical content and a minimum score of 5 points in the seminar part.

Students who do not achievethe minimum score in the theoretical part may take a recovery exam that will cover all theoretical content (both theory and problems), consisting of a written exam with a maximum score of 5 points.

Students who do not achieve the minimum score of 5 points in the seminar part may take a recovery consisting of the preparation and oral presentation of an epidemiological report plus a written exam on all seminars conducted by their classmates. This recovery will have a maximum score of 5 points.

To participate in the recovery, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject or module. Therefore, students will receive a \"Not Assessable\" grade when the evaluation activities carried out account for less than 67% of the final grade.

Single Evaluation

Students opting for single evaluation must submit the group work and present the seminar during in-person sessions, and it is a requirement to pass them. Attendance is mandatory. The evaluation and weight on the final grade will be the same as in continuous assessment.

The single evaluation consists of a single test covering the entire theoretical program and questions about the seminars attended. The score obtained in this test will be 60% of the final grade for the subject. The single evaluation test will be held on the same date scheduled in the calendar for the last continuous assessment test, and the same recovery system will apply.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, or others at the discretion of the teaching staff. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in evaluable activities and seminars will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

Any irregularity committed in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade will result in that assessment being graded with a 0.

If the course guide stipulates that obtaining a minimum grade in this assessment activity 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 commits any of these irregularities.
