Theory classes:

Systematic explanation and study 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 or 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 throughout the semester.

EVALUATION

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 of the subject.

Evaluation model

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

Systems for evaluation in General Physiology are considered:

- Physiology of Blood and Hematopoietic Organs

- Cell Physiology of Nerve, Muscle and Epithelium

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

Continuous evaluation

The continuous evaluation of each system will consist of:

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 the partial exam will represent 80% of the overall grade of the system.

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

- Evaluation of laboratory practices, by on-site tests and questionnaires carried out in the Moodle application, on the concepts achieved in the practices. This grade will represent 15% of the overall grade of the system.

- Questionnaires on solving cases and practical problems, carried out in the Moodle application, which will represent 5% of the overall grade of the system.

To pass each system it is required 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% questionnaires B).

To pass the subject it will be necessary to have passed each one or of the systems with a minimum of 5.0, so that the overall average is equal to or higher than this grade.

In this case, the final grade will be the weighted average (40% Physiology of Blood and Hematopoietic Organs and 60% Cell Physiology of Nerve, Muscle and Epithelium) of the marks obtained in each of the approved systems.

Final examination

A final recovery exam will be carried out for the students who have not passed the subject in the continuous evaluation. The student must attend only the blocks that he/she has not passed in the continuous evaluation of the same academic year.

The final recovery exam of each system will be composed of multiple-choice questions and will evaluate the knowledge of:

- Theoretic knowledge of the subject, weighted at 75% of the final grade.

- Laboratory practices and cases, weighted at 25% of the final grade.

To pass each system it is required to obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the exam.

To pass the subject it is required to have passed the two systems with a minimum of 5.0.

In this case, the final grade will be the weighted average (by the extension of the system) 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 evaluation exams both theoretical and practical.

Examination review procedure

Students may submit objections regarding the examination questions within 24 hours of completing the in-person examination.

Grade reviews will be conducted during the period announced at the time the midterm and final examination results are published.
