Theory classes: The student acquires their own scientific knowledge of the subject attending lectures: master classes with ICT support, which will complement with the personal study of the exposed topics. The material used in class can be found by the student in the \"teaching material\" tool of the Virtual Campus. These classes are conceived as a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmitting knowledge from the teacher to the student that forces them to develop autonomous learning strategies outside class.

Classes of external seminars: The knowledge acquired in the theory classes and the personal study is complemented in the seminars where specialists in the field of Clinical Genetics present the cases in which they work in which the techniques studied in the theory classes. Some of thesewill include the analysis ofspecific clinical cases. A part of the external seminars will be given in English.

Seminars given by students: Students will have to make a seminar in an oral presentation format with ICT support. These seminars will be held in groups of two students that will present cases of applications of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of genetic diseases following the model of external seminars and applying the knowledge acquired to the theory classes. The subject of the seminar will be agreed with the teacher in sufficient time. It will be valued positively that the seminars are in English.

Activities in the Virtual Campus: The student will be able to continue working with the contents of the subject through different proposals of activities that will find in the educational space of the subject in the Virtual Campus.

1. The content of the theoretical part will be evaluated through an objective exam. The grade for this part corresponds to 50% of the final grade.
2. Students must complete a mandatory seminar in groups of two. The evaluation of the seminars will be conducted through an exam that will include both external seminars and those given by the students. Additionally, the professor will also evaluate the presentation made by each student in the seminars and will positively value students who give their presentation in English. The grade for this evaluation will correspond to 45% of the final grade, of which 50% corresponds to the seminar exam and 50% to the evaluation of the seminars given by the students.
3. Finally, students' active participation in the various activities proposed in the course's space on the Virtual Campus will also be evaluated (5% of the final grade).
4. Presenting the internal seminar in English will increase the final overall grade by 0.5 out of 10.
5. At the end of the presentations, students will vote for the best one. The winning group will be awarded an additional 0.5 points on their seminar evaluation grade. Only students who have attended 100% of the seminars in person will be able to vote and be eligible for the award.

Students interested in improving their final grade have the option to take a re-examination for both the theory and seminar components. Opting for the re-examination waives any previously obtained grade.

To pass, a weighted final grade of at least 4.9 must be achieved. A student who fails to obtain this grade will be marked as \"failed\" or \"non-evaluable\" if no exams were taken.

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 course or module. Thus, the student will be graded as \"No Avaluable\" if the weighting of all conducted evaluation activities is less than 67% of the final score

Single assessment

The single assessment consists of a single exam in which the contents of the entire theory and seminars program of the course will be evaluated in the form of a theoretical-practical test. The test will consist of multiple-choice questions and written answers. The grade obtained in this synthesis test will account for 72.5% of the final grade for the subject (50% for the theory part and 22.5% for the seminars part). To pass this test, it is necessary to achieve a minimum score of 4,9.

Students who take advantage of the single assessment must compulsorily present the seminars in face-to-face sessions and under the same conditions as in the conventional assessment (22.5% of the final grade).

The single evaluation test will be carried out coinciding with the last partial evaluation test, and the same recuperation system will be applied as for the conventional evaluation.

Use of AI

For this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations.

For submissions on the Virtual Campus (CV) and in seminars, the student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity.

The non-transparent 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 activity's grade, or more significant sanctions in serious cases.

Irregularities during assessment activities

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or the inappropriate use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus) that could lead to a significant variation in the grade will result in a grade of 0 for that activity. If the course syllabus stipulates that obtaining a minimum grade in this assessment activity is a mandatory 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. In addition to this, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits such irregularities.
