Description |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
During the course, two controls will be carried out on the theoretical contents of the subject, with questions of test type and short questions, as well as exercises.
The final exam will consist of a written test on the contents taught in the practical part of the subject with short questions about processes and reactions made in the practices, as well as identification of structures in images. Also, the final theoretical exam will consist of test questions, short questions, definitions as well as exercises. |
Directed discussion |
In very small groups (10 students) will discuss content related to the subject. Likewise, test exercises and problems will be performed that will serve as a review of the concepts explained in the lectures. Questions will be presented, object of discussions directed by the teacher, to conduct debates among students on methodological and theoretical aspects related to the subject. |
Laboratory practice |
Some theoretical aspects related to the apparatus and the experimental methodologies will be approached and the manual skills of the simple chemical-biological techniques are acquired |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
50-minute face-to-face sessions on some of the contents of the program. For a total use of these, it is recommended that the student has read, previously and on his own, the fundamental aspects of these subjects. |

Description |
The student is free to ask all your questions during theoretical sessions (lectures , small groups) or practices . It also will have the ability to resolve any questions about the course by attending individual tutorials in the schedule of this ( see schedule http://ciencias.udc.es/grao-en-bioloxia ) .
In the case of students with recognition of part time and dispensation academic medical exemption , it can use the same channels or can pose your questions via email. |

Haberá dous controis teóricos e controis obrigatorios ao longo do curso e un exame final (o termo) dos contidos teóricos do tema con cuestións de múltiple opción, preguntas curtas e exercicios. Tales controis serán responsables de 30% da nota teoría.
O exame final consistirá por cuestións de múltiple opción, preguntas curtas e exercicios. Este exame final representará o 70% da nota teoría |

Assessment comments |
A presenza nas clases prácticas é condición indispensable para ser avaliado. Para superar a materia é necesario obter unha puntuación de 5 a 10 na parte teórica, así como parte práctica. Primeira oportunidade (xaneiro): O cálculo da nota da parte teórica (xaneiro) está constituído pola suma dos controis durante o curso que computarán un 30%, máis o exame final de computación de 70%, e será requisito indispensable para obter unha puntuación mínima de 5 sobre 10 no cómputo xeral de teoría para que poida facer a media coa parte práctica. A calificación da parte práctica será obtida directamente desde o exame final práctico, e será requisito indispensable obter unha puntuación mínima de 5 sobre 10 para que poida facer media coa calificación xeral da parte teórica. As matrículas de honra, de ser o caso, terán preferencia concedelas na primeira das oportunidades concedidas (finais do primeiro semestre.) Será calificado como non presentado ao alumno que non realice ningunha das actividades propostas para o curso, como probas durante o semestre, así como probas avaliables da primeira oportunidade. O cálculo final dunha calificación global constituirá a suma da calificación xeral teórica (80%), máis a calificación da parte práctica (20%) e debe ser obtida unha puntuación mínima de 5 sobre 10 en cada unha das partes (teoría e práctica ). Segunda oportunidade (Xullo): Os alumnos serán avaliados únicamente na nota teórico ou práctico obtido nesta segunda oportunidade, constituíndo o 80% a parte teórica e 20% a parte práctica. A materia suspendida (o ano lectivo anterior) implica a execución e superar todas e cada unha das actividades listadas nesta guía tanto o teórica.

Other comments |
El aprendizaje comprenderá: la incorporación de conceptos fundamentales sobre la materia, la familiarización con el trabajo en el laboratorio, la elaboración de memorias sencillas de prácticas y la búsqueda de información.
Se recomienda: leer o trabajar sobre el tema de las lecciones magistrales con anterioridad, tomar las notas pertinentes durante las clases teóricas y prácticas. |
