The teaching methodology will consist of theory classes, of tutored self-study seminars where practical and clinical cases will be discussed, and of laboratory practices. The main teaching material for these activities will be provided through the UAB virtual campus.

The theoretical classes will be taught in the form of lectures to the entire group. The teachers will also comment on the material available for the other activities, including materials for self-learning.

When finishing each subject, the students will be tutored in smaller groups to discuss cases of practical or clinical application. This activity will be called \"Tutored Self-Study Seminars\" as students will have a script with questions that will have to be solved, prior to the class or in the same class, where they will discuss them with their peers with the tutor acting as moderator. Considered as SEM, these seminars entailla the problem based learning (PBL).

The laboratory practices will consist of a script and a list of questions that students will have to solve during the practice. In order to be able to attend the practical sessions, the student must justify having passed the biosafety and security tests that he will find in the Virtual Campus and be familiar with and accept the rules of operation of the Faculty's laboratories.

Taken the typology of teaching and evaluation activities, in this subject it is permitted the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies as a part of the study, as far as the contribution of the student to the analysis and final reflexion would be significant. Moreover, the student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, which tolls have been employed, and discuss on the influence in the result of the activity.

Additionally students will be able to have specific tutor sessions.

There will be two partial test. First test will have a value of 47,5% of the total grade. It will include topics 1, 2 and 3, as well as first laboratory demonstration. Second test will have a value of 47,5% of the total grade. It will include topics 4, 5 and 6, as well as second laboratory demonstration.

Attendance to tutored self-study seminars is highly recommended. During the practical sessions, students will be assessed whether they work in groups (T01), respect for norms (G03), develop critical thinking in the scientific method, (G01), understand the mechanisms of regulation and integration of metabolic activity (E01.46) and its physiological and clinical consequences (E02.14). The evaluation of competences during the practical sessions will have a value of 4% of the total grade. Additionally, the content of the practices related to the theoretical subject will be evaluated in the continuous, global and final evaluation exercises.

Attendance to laboratory practices is mandatory. During the practical sessions, students will be assessed whether they work in groups (T01), respect for norms (G03), critical thinking (G01) and self-learn (G02). The evaluation of competences during the practical sessions will have a value of 1% of the total grade. Additionally, the content of the practices related to the theoretical subject will be evaluated in the continuous, global and final evaluation exercises.

Final mark will consist of 47.5% partial 1, 47,5% partial 2, 4% seminars and 1% laboratory work.

Final Test will consist of a global exam containing all the topics covered. Final test will have a value of 95%, that will be complemented with 4% seminar marks plus 1% laboratory marks.

To pass the topic, final marks must be equal or superior to 5 over ten. Also, it will be essential to obtain at least 4,5 out of 10 points in the partial exams.

There will be global exam for those students who failed previous test. The grade obtained in this exam will be 100% of total grade. This exam will include all the contents of subject and will be in written form, although the teachers can complete the assessment with oral questions.

The students will obtain the \"Non-Assessed\" qualification when the evaluation activities carried out have a weigh of less than 67% of the total grade.

The assessments will be done mainly by means of written exams with a limited space to answer and multi-answer tests, as well as expositive activities to assess the active participation in the activities of the subject.

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

If the course syllabus stipulates that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is an essential requirement for passing 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.

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system
