The subject is taught in small groups of students (maximum 20 per session) in the laboratory. Students have a manual or practice guide for each Module. It is necessary to read the corresponding part of each session carefully before starting the practice to obtain the maximum advantage. Students will have to produce the results obtained.

Module - Animal and Plant Biology

Botany

In each practical session it is mandatory for the student to bring their own dressing gown and the practice guides and the description sheets, both will be available on the Virtual Campus or when indicated by the teaching staff. You also have to bring a notebook, where each student will write down the observations made. For the realization of the practices, the students will workalone or in pairs and under the supervision of the professor. At the beginning of each session the teacher will make a brief theoretical explanation of the content of the practice and of the experiences and observations to be carried out by the students.

Plant Physiology

The student must prepare previously each practice session. You need to dedicate approximately 1 hour to review the theoretical concepts, the foundation of the practice, the methodology to follow and the objectives that you want to achieve.

After the preparation of the practice, another approximate time will be necessary to prepare the results obtained in each practice and answer the questions in the practice guide.

Zoology

Module - Biochemistry

Autonomous process based on guided observation and experimentation. Students will have to elaborate the results obtained and / or answer the questions posed in the practice manual.

Module - Animal Physiology

The programmed training activities include time of directed learning and time of self-learning.

Laboratory sessions: In-person sessions where students carry out the protocols and experimental setups outlined in the lab manuals. These sessions always take place with an instructor present to explain the work and supervise the tasks to be performed in the laboratory.

Tutorials: Time of discussion and resolution of doubts / problems that appear during the time of directed learning or the one of autoaprendizaje. They will be done individually or in small groups depending on the requirements and the areas of the issues to be discussed. This activity will be programmed at the request of the students themselves.

Self-learning: Autonomous training activities (individual or in group) in which the student works and deepens both the content of the practical scripts and the experimental data generated in the computer lab / classroom. These activities include the reading and understanding of the scripts of practices before their development laboratory as well as the preparation of the corresponding questionnaires.

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.

Attendance to practical sessions is mandatory. Students missing more than 20% of programmed sessions will be graded as \"No Avaluable\"

Module Animal and Plant Biology

Botany

The use of practices will be evaluated through a small test at the end of the laboratory session (15%), and an exam (85%) consisting of two parts: Visum, and Description of a fruit / fruit or corm modification.

Plant Physiology

A final individual written test will be done that represents an 80% of the mark. The practice notebook will be carried out in groups and will account the remaining 20% of the mark. The notebook will be delivered via Virtual Campus until one week after the end of the practical course.

Zoology

At the end of each practice the student will have to answer a questionnaire to evaluate that he has achieved the knowledge and the specific competences of each practice. The note of this module will be calculated based on the average mark of the questionnaires.

Biochemistry module

The student's attitude in the laboratory will be evaluated, punctuality, wearing the appropriate material such as a dressing gown, goggles and practical guides, previously worked at home for the student, as well as his work in the laboratory. The student on the day the teacher will give a questionnaire that will respond outside the laboratory. The evaluation of the attitude will represent 25% of the mark, and the evaluation of its degree by using the questionnaire presented the other 75% of the total of the module's note.

Animal PhysiologyModule

The assessment of the practical sessions of this module will have two components: 1) Attendance and ongoing participation are assessed at the end of each practical session. This component accounts for 80% of the final grade for the module. 2) The second component consists of completing a questionnaire that will be answered at the end of the last practical session. This component accounts for 20% of the final grade for the module.

A grade equal to or higher than 4.5 must be obtained in all evaluation activities in order to calculate an average grade. To pass this module, all practicals must be passed with a grade equal to or higher than 5.0. Practical sessions a grade lower than 5.0 will be recovered in a final exam, which will determine the final grade. There is no possibility of improving the final grade obtained in this module.

To pass the course, it is necessary to first approve each module with a note = 5.

Students who do not pass the different modules of the subject will be able to recover them on the scheduled date for the recovery evaluation of the subject. Students who have not passed one of the modules after the recovery evaluation willnot approve the subject. In spite of this, it will not be necessary for a repeating student to carry out the teaching activities or the evaluations of that module passed after the second enrollment. Repeaters will only have to be evaluated for the specific module that has not been exceeded. This exemption will be maintained for a period of three additional license plates.

The final grade is the weighted average of the notes of each module, where evey modul is 20% of the final mark.

To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equaling at least two thirds of the final score of the module.

This subject does not contemplate the single evaluation system.

For the written parts, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations. 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 this assessable activity 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.

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized in the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide provides that to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this assessment act or that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be initiated against the student who incurs any of these irregularities.
