The theory classes will be in complete groups.

There will be seminars in which students will present in small groups subjects related to different aspects of the structure and function of the biological membranes.

Attendance at the seminars will be monitored, and the mark obtained will be considered only when attendance is equal to or greater than 80 % of the seminars.

The practical classes will consist of 2 laboratory sessions:

1.- Obtaining phospholipid / surfactant phase diagram (4 hours).

2.- Quantification of the entrapment of a hydrophilic molecule into liposomes (4 hours).

USE OF AI

For this subject, 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.

1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

It consists of the following parts:

(a) Two eliminatory partial exams of theoretical knowledge subject (35 % of the final grade each).

b) An evaluation of the laboratory practices (14 %). Attendance to the practical sessions is mandatory. The student will obtain the grade of \"Not evaluable\" when the absence is higher than 20 % of the scheduled sessions.

c) An evaluation of evaluable work proposed throughout the course (10 %).

d) An evaluation of the seminars (6 %), in case of complying with the attendance indicated in Methodology (equal or superior to 80 % of the seminars).

A minimum passing grade of 4 in each one of the two theoretical exams is required to pass the subject.

Students who have not passed any of them, and who have been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 67 % of the total grade of the course, may take a recovery exam that will consist of the parts not passed.

The student will obtain the grade of "Not Evaluable" when the evaluation activities carried out have a weight of less than 67 % in the final grade.

USE OF AI (cases b), c) and d))

For this subject, 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 activities. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in these assessable activities 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.

Configuration of the tests

As for thetwo eliminatory exams, they will consist of multiple-choice questions and short questions.

The evaluation of the laboratory practices will be based on the work and the results obtained, which will be presented in a report (14 %).

It is necessary to deliver throughout the course the works that will be proposed (10 %).

The evaluation of the seminars will be based on the evaluation of the presentation sessions (6 %).

2. SINGLE EVALUATION

Students who take advantage of the single evaluation must carry out the laboratory practices. An attendance of less than 80% of the scheduled sessions isnot allowed.

Regarding the evaluation, it will be done coinciding with the last continuous evaluation test.

The test will consist of the following parts:

(a) An exam on lipids and on proteins (35 % each). To pass the course it is indispensable to have obtained a minimum grade of 4 in each of these parts.

b) The delivery of the practical report (14 %).

c) An oral test on the works proposed throughout the course (10 %).

d) The presentation and oral discussion of an article with the professors (6 %).

Students who have not passed any of the parts of the single evaluation, may take a recovery exam that will consist of the parts not passed. The recovery exam will take place the same day than that of the continuous evaluation.

USE OF AI (cases b) and d))

For this subject, 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 activities. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in these assessable activities 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.

3. FINAL MARK

Weighted mean of a) to d). To pass the subject the overall mark should be 5.0 or higher.

According to article 266 of the UAB Academic Regulations (Assessment Results): “6. Once the subject has been passed, it cannot be subject to a new assessment.”

4. EXAM REVIEW

On-demand exam reviewing will be done individually with the student.

5. IRREGULARITIES IN ASSESSMENT

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant change in the grade will result in that activity being graded with a 0. If the course guide stipulates that passing the subject requires obtaining a minimum grade in that 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, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against the student who commits any of these irregularities.
