Theory classes:

Systematic explanation of the subject topics, giving relevance to the most important concepts. The student acquires the basic scientific knowledge of the subject in theory classes, which will be complemented by self study of the themes of the subject program.

Laboratory practices:

Practical sessions for the observation and performance of procedures, the practical learning of physiological techniques and their medical application. Group work and active self-learning are promoted.

Case-based work:

Work on cases and problems of relevance for learning the subject. The knowledge acquired in theory classes, practices and personal study is applied to the resolution of practical cases presented using the moodle application.

Tutorial teaching:

Availability of tutorials for helping in the autonomous study of physiological concepts and application for the resolution of cases.

Use of AI: In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a penalty in the activity’s grade or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

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 acquisition of the competences described in the subject will be valued, including the learning of the Physiology of the human organism, the general training to distinguish between normality and dysfunction and the ability to integrate theoretical and practical concepts.

The evaluation of the subject will be based on the theoretical and practical syllabus that appears in the Program.

1. Evaluation model:

Each block or system that integrates the program of the subject will be evaluated individually, both from the theoretical and practical syllabus (laboratory and case practices).

Systems for evaluation in Medical Physiology II:

• Nervous system and special senses
• Endocrine and reproductive Systems, Adaptation/Integration

To pass the subject it will be necessary to pass each of the two blocks with a minimum grade of 5.0 in the same academic year.

2. Continuous evaluation:

Two partial exams will be programmed in order to evaluate the two blocks of the subject:

1) Nervous system and special senses

2) Endocrine and reproductive Systems, Adaptation/Integration

The continuous evaluation of each block will consist in:

A. Midterm exam with:

- multiple-choice items and/or restricted written questions to assess theoretical knowledge of the subject and concepts related to laboratory practices.

The grade of this exam will be 80% of the final grade of the block.

B. Tests throughout the course on the knowledge acquired in laboratory practices and case studies. The grade of these tests will be 20% of the final grade of the block:

- Evaluation of practices, through on-site tests and/or questionnaires carried out in the Moodle application, on the concepts achieved in these.

To pass each system it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the partial examination of theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject (section A) and a minimum of 5.0 in the overall grade of the system (80% partial exam A + 20% tests B).

To pass the subject it will be necessary to have passed each one or of the systems with a minimum of 5.0. In this case, the final grade will be the average of the marks obtained in each of the approved systems.

3. Final examination:

A final recovery exam will be carried out, in which the student will have to attend only to the blocks that they have not passed in the continuous evaluation of the same academic year.

The final examination of each system will consist of tests of multiple-choice questions and/or restricted written questions, and will evaluate the knowledge of theory and laboratory and case-based practices.

To pass each system it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the exam. The final grade for the recovered system will be the one obtained in the recovery exam.

To pass the subject it will be necessary to have passed the two systems with a minimum of 5.0. In this case, the final grade will be the average of the marks obtained in each of the approved systems. In case of not passing any of the systems, the maximum score obtained will be 4.8.

It will be considered as \"not evaluable\" the student who does not take the partial and final exams expressly scheduled.

4. Examination review procedure:

Students may submit claims to the statement of the questions during 24 hours following the completion of the exams.

The revision of the grades will be carried out in the period to be announced together with the publication of the grades of the midterm and final exams.

5. Single evaluation

This subject does not include a single-evaluation system

Irregularities in evalution activities

Any irregularity committed during an evaluation activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or misuse of AI) that may lead to a significant change in the grade will result in that activity being graded with a 0. If the guide establishes that passing the subject requires obtaining a minimum mark in this assessment activity, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for the subject will be 0. In addition, the student who commits any of these irregularities may be subject to disciplinary proceedings.
