DIRECTED ACTIVITY (30%)

a) Master Classes (TE) (whole group). 19 face-to-face sessions (1.5h) of work based on:

• Master or flipped classroon with the support of information thechnologies (ICTs) and proposal of questions to discuss and debate through the active participation of students.
• Practical exercises and problem-solving tasks, both individually and in groups
• Viewing and discussion of short videos

b) Seminars (PAUL). 6 face-to-face seminars (2h), usually in groups, based on:

• Reading of texts and articles to facilitate the understanding of the teaching content.
• Carrying out and correcting practical exercises.
• Problem-solving activities and debates on different issues.
• Assessment activity EV3: self-assessment excercises.
• Raising and resolving doubts.

C) Workshops (PLAB). 2 sessions (2h)

• Workshop on anatomy and physiology of the visual system through models of the sensory organs and practical exercises.
• Workshop on chemical senses (taste and smell) through models of the sensory organs and practical exercises.

SUPERVISED ACTIVITY (5%). Follow-up, in person or virtually, with the lecturing staff individually and/or in a group. The key aspects of this supervised activity include:

• Correcting and providing guidance on answering key questions from the syllabus.
• Facilitating reflections on the assigned readings.
• Addressing any doubts or questions that may arise.
• Offering personalized study strategies to enhance individual learning.

AUTONOMOUS ACTIVITY (60%).

• Documentation.
• Comprehensive reading of materials (books, scientific papers, outreach articles, webs).
• Studyof basic concepts of the subject (conceptual maps, synthesis).
• Exercises and activitiesfor continuous evaluation and self-evaluation.
• Regular participation in communication forums, and other spaces of the virtual classroom, coordinated by the lecturing staff.

ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY (5%)

• Individual written tests (multiple-choice, open questions or practical exercises)(EV1 and EV2)
• Self-assessment activities (EV3)

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.

The evaluation of the subject is based on a continuous assessment through different tests and activities in which the students will have to demonstrate that they have achieved the corresponding competences and learning outcomes.

For each of the following evaluation activities, its weight in the final grade, the duration of the test and when it is carried out are indicated:

• EV1. Learning Evidence 1 (compulsory): Written individual test (multiple-choice, open questions and/or short questions). Topics covered in master, seminar and workshop classes on Units 1, 2 and 3 (40% of final grade, 1.5h, first evaluation period).
• EV2. Learning Evidence 2 (compulsory): Written individual test (multiple-choice, open questions and/or short questions). Topics covered in master, seminar and workshop classes on Units 4, 5 and 6 (40% of final grade, 1.5h, second evaluation period).
• EV3. Learning Evidence 3 (optional): Sef-assessment activities (10%) .

The subject offers the possibility of SINGLE EVALUATION (see link at the end for information on regulations, application, deadline), which means waiving continuous assessment and implies the completion of EV1 and EV2 (mandatory) and Ev3 (optional) evidence on a single date. The date of completion will correspond to the date of the second assessment period. The description, weight and face-to-face duration of the evidence are the same as those explained in sections 1 – 3 above. The same recovery process will be applied as for continuous assessment (see the following section e). THE SINGLE EVALUATION IS REQUESTED ONLINE (E-FORM) IN THE SPECIFIC PERIOD (more information on the Faculty website).

The subject does not offer the possibility of taking a synthesis test.

Translations of assessment tests may be requested if the requirements established in Article 263 are met and the request is submitted electronically during week 4 (e-form). More information is available on the faculty website. In any case, the teaching team will decide whether or not the translations are appropriate.

The evaluation criteria will be the following:

a) Provision of compulsory learning evidences, EV1 and EV2.

b) Students providing learning evidences with a weight equal to orgreater than 40% will be considered evaluable.

c) The final grade will be calculated based on the weighted average of all the assessment activities carried out.

d) The subject will be approved when the final grade, calculated from the weighted sum of all the evaluation evidence taken, is equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10. In addition, it will be necessary to have obtained a minimum grade of 4.5 points out of 10 in each of the two compulsory tests (EV1 and EV2). If either of these two requirements is not met, the subject will not be considered passed and the maximum grade that can be recorded in the academic record will be 4.5 points out of 10.

e) Students who have taken the two compulsory tests (EV1 and EV2) and have obtained an overall assessment grade (EV1 + EV2 + EV3) of between 3.5 and 4.85 points out of 10 may take the retake test, which will be carried out in the recovery period established by the Faculty. The retake test will consist of the repetition of EV1, EV2 or both, as appropriate and will include only open questions. Once the grade of the evidence or evidence recovered has been replaced, the criteria for passing the subject will be the same as those established in section d). Consequently, in order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4.5 points out of 10 in each of the recovered evidences (EV1 and/or EV2) and an overall grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10. In case of taking the retake, the maximum grade that can be obtained in the subject will be 7 points out of 10.

f) In those situations in which, in accordance with article 264 of the academic regulations and with the supporting documentation that justifies them, the evaluation tests to be taken in the first evaluation period must be rescheduled, this test will be held on the same day that the test of the second evaluation period of the subject or in the recovery. In the event that it affects a test in the second evaluation period, it will be rescheduled for the scheduled day of recovery without affecting the recovery process foreseen by the subject. In any case, taking into account the situation, the Coordination of the degree, and in agreement with the Coordination of the subject, may determine another day if it deems it necessary.
